colibri is a free RTOS-subset released under a BSD-style license.
The goal is to create a useful RTOS with support for a wide range of hardware
platforms, from low-end microcontrollers to more advanced 32-bit processors.
colibri is written in C and assembly.
<p>
System designers using colibri will get access to an API with several
RTOS components such as a scheduler, semaphores and different libraries.
Use of these components leads to shortened development time and less bugs.
Focus could be put on the real application instead of reinventing the wheel.
<p>
colibri is not a <A HREF="http://www.linux.org">Linux</A>-killer. Put Linux or <A HREF="http://www.bsd.org">BSD</A> in advanced embedded
systems using 32-bit processors with MMU. Use <A HREF="http://www.uclinux.org">uClinux</A> on your 32-bit
processor without MMU. Use <A HREF="http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/">eCos</A> or <A HREF="http://www.rtems.com">RTEMS</A> if you need a 32-bit RTOS.
But if you have a cost-effective hardware platform with limited resources - use <A HREF="http://colibri.org">colibri</A>!

Version 0.1.1 has a reentrant scheduler, timer functions, advanced semaphores
(enhanced POSIX style), interrupt handling code, some h8 uart code and
a small collection of generic data types.

Future work will be focused on a compact driver model based on generic FIFO:s.
