Introduction

THINGS TO CONSIDER FOR DEVELOPING AN OPERATING SYSTEM

• RTOS architecture to be considered. • Language support• Tool capabilities• Services that are provided for the developers though

API’s• Technical support for the users

RTOS FOR SMALL MICROCONTROLLERS

• Why do we need RTOS for small Microcontrollers• Small Microcontroller refers to Maximum ROM

of 128Kbytes and 4Kbytes of RAM• Using for Software Optimization - low power –

high performance.• RTOS can be used to distribute software

development among the developers• Software synchronization

RTOS FOR SMALL MICROCONTROLLERS• The use of the RTOS in small Microcontrollers have

increased considerably

uITRON – REAL TIME OPERATING SYSTEM

• The RTOS named TOPPER/FDMP is being design based on the uITRON Real Time Operating System for asymmetric microcontrollers.

• The target architecture is as shown below

• uITRON is the extension of the ITRON where u- micro which refers to small microcontrollers.

• uITRON employees priority based preemptive scheduling.

UITRON – REAL TIME OPERATING SYSTEM

• Interrupt handlers is implementation dependent• Three types of event handler

• Cyclic handlers• Alarm handlers• Overrun handle

• Objects – (Task and semaphore)• API’s

TOPPERS/FDMP- EXTENSION OF UITRON SPECIFICATIONS

• Multiprocessor - individual Control Blocks.• Inter-processor Communication either by direct manipulation

or by remote access.• Lock units - Task lock and object lock• Inter and Intra Process Mutual Exclusion

• Implementation of the TOPPERS/FDMP

REAL TIME OPERATING SYSTEMS - MARUTI

• MARUTI a RTOS for Hard Real Time system.• Guaranteed – service scheduling.• Fault tolerant Operation.• Object – two main components

• Control Part• Set of access points (SAP’s)

• Calendar refers to the data structures ordered in time.

COMPONENTS IN MARUTI RTOS

• Kernel Components• Dispatcher• Loader• Time server• Communication server• Resource Manipulator

• Supervisor level Objects• Allocator• Verifiers• Binders• Logic server

A RTOS FOR WEARABLE COMPUTERS - eRTOS

• The wearable personal gateway board of watch type wearable computer.

• Major feature of eRTOS• Task/Multi task management.• Memory management.• Inter-task communication and synchronization• Power management.

eRTOS – TASK MANAGEMENT

• Its task based Operating system• 5 different task states

• Ready, suspended, running, delay and pending.

• 28 priorities states.

eRTOS – OTHER FEATURES• Memory Management - dynamic memory management

algorithms• Inter-task communication – one-to-one communication and

message port delivers the message pointers.• Dynamic power management

• User defined power management strategies• Application specific strategies

• eRTOS has footprint size of 9KB• eRTOS can achieve 47% energy saving because of dynamic

power management

CONCLUSION

• Increasing embedded market.• Multi core system into embedded domain • High performance with Low Power by optimization.• Better algorithm for multi core chips.• Wearable computers.
