#91239 - Protothreads alternative to RTOSe |
Following may be usefull for forum members
In his recent Embedded Muse e-mail Jack Ganssle, The Embedded Guru has suggested following link for protohead an alternative to RTOS for small mcu. The link also contain small memory size TCP/IP stck for small MCU. Please see yourself Adam Dunkels has created some really cool software for small embedded systems. His Protothreads are an alternative to RTOSes, and eat only two bytes of RAM per thread. From his site: "Protothreads are extremely lightweight stackless threads designed for severely memory constrained systems such as small embedded systems or sensor network nodes. Protothreads provide linear code execution for event-driven systems implemented in C. Protothreads can be used with or without an underlying operating system." See http://www.sics.se/~adam/pt . His uIP TCP/IP stack needs only 4-5k of program space and a couple hundred bytes of RAM. See http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/ . Both packages are free under a BSD-style license. |
