|
* @mainpage Introduction
|
|
* @author Giovanni Di Sirio (gdisirio@users.sourceforge.net).
|
|
*
|
|
* <h2>Why Nil?</h2>
|
|
* Of course because it is so small that it is almost nil.
|
|
* I wrote Nil because I wanted to experiment with an idea I had
|
|
* regarding a minimal RTOS. Basically I wanted to verify how small
|
|
* could be an RTOS while retaining useful features.
|
|
*
|
|
* <h2>Features</h2>
|
|
* - Free software, GPL3 licensed. Stable releases include a exception clause
|
|
* to the GPL.
|
|
* - Designed for realtime applications.
|
|
* - Easily portable.
|
|
* - Preemptive scheduling.
|
|
* - Each thread has its own priority level.
|
|
* - Offers tasks, time, semaphores, event flags, timeouts.
|
|
* - Fully static.
|
|
* - Minimal system requirements: about 700 bytes ROM with all options enabled.
|
|
* - Almost totally written in C with little ASM code required for ports.
|
|
* - Compatible with ChibiOS/HAL.
|
|
* - API compatible with ChibiOS/RT of which, ChibiOS/NIL, is functionally
|
|
* a subset.
