StateOS

StateOS is free, extremely simple and very fast real-time operating system (RTOS) designed for deeply embedded applications.

Targets

ARM Cortex-M, STM8.

Inspiration

StateOS was inspired by the concept of a state machine. Procedure executed by the task (task state) doesn't have to be noreturn-type. It will be executed into an infinite loop. There's a dedicated function for immediate change the task state (task function).

Documentation

All documentation is contained within source files, in particular header files.

Gettin started

Building an application for a specific compiler is realised using the appropriate makefile script.

Features

• kernel can operate in preemptive or cooperative mode
• kernel can operate with 16, 32 or 64-bit timer counter
