Abassi RTOS for 80251

Highlights


    1. Fully scalable footprint (as low as 1375 bytes on 80251; full: ~6275 bytes)
    2. Fast Execution (112 clock cycle context switch, 7.00μs on 80251 @16MHz)
    3. Unlimited Tasks, Queues, Events, Semaphores, Mutexes and Mailboxes
    4. Flexible licensing options
    5. Available source code
    6. Comprehensive documentation
    7. Responsive Technical Support

Unmatched Feature Set

In addition to the standard feature set supported by most real-time kernels, the Abassi RTOS can be configured with many features unmatched in the industry. These features add robustness and code savings, and include:


    1. Intelligent starvation protectionGuarantees fair access to CPU, via enhanced priority aging, even on heavily loaded systems.
    2. Priority inheritance, including dynamic trackingAutomatically adjusts for priority aging, timeouts, etc. and propagationBetween entangled mutex owners, to prevent deadlock.
    3. Adaptive priority ceiling
    4. Deadlock detectionReports recursive mutex dependencies anywhere in the execution chain.
    5. AsymmetricTimeslice adjustable at a per task level. Round Robin scheduling
    6. Hybrid interrupt stack

Development Tool Choices

Abassi supports major 80251 development tools, including Keil/C251.

Memory Requirements

Don't settle for half a RTOS! Even with all features enabled, Abassi still consumes less memory than the minimum configuration of most kernels. And you get advanced priority inheritance, asymmetric round-robin scheduling, starvation protection, and much more. Or, if memory footprint is paramount, Abassi scales to a minimum size that can't be matched.
