    RTOS means Real TIme Operating System. Some of ST third-parties develop some (ex: CMX, ...). You can have information on their Internet site.

    I know what does RTOS mean...

    I made the question because I need REAL data about the requirements of RAM and ROM.

    I want to know if an RTOS like CMXTiny+ or uC/OS-II is usable in my low-cost system (384 bytes RAM, 8K Flash)...and wich of them you suggest.

    I need only the multi task management feature.

    Thanks,

    Patrik

    they aren't ported to ST7 yet and are free.

    Another possibility is uC/OS-II that is available for ST7.

    I have written a small multitasking engine for the Cosmic C compiler.

    You can have up to 254 tasks, (well, not in reality as you are limited by RAm available).

    I have implemented mutexes and basic semaphores.

    I have attached it....

    Good Luck !!
