BeRTOS For Linux

BeRTOS is a completely free, open source, real time operating system (RTOS) suitable for embedded platforms. It runs on many microprocessors and microcontrollers, ranging from 8 bits to 32 bits CPUs and even PCs.

BeRTOS was born as a collection of useful, highly optimized and fine-tuned libraries for embedded systems. Each library had its own scope and could be used singularly in a project, though they were also meant to cooperate to build the whole underlying software layer commonly called "operating system".

We have grown it following our guidelines: simplicity and beauty. These guidelines made it possible to evolve it in a full-featured real time operating system, with more modularity than many other embedded OSes, without giving up reliability and performance.

To achieve the highest possible reusability, most BeRTOS components are designed for fine-grained modularity and minimal external dependencies. Most non-essential features can be configured out for application with small memory footprint requirements.
