Kernel Overview#

The Micrium OS Kernel is written to the highest coding standards, making its implementation easy to read and understand. The kernel itself is a real-time preemptive kernel and offers many features, such as:

• Task management

• Time management

• Resource synchronization through semaphores, monitors and intelligent mutexes

• Message queues

• Software timers

• Application hooks to extend the features of the kernel

• Instrumentation, such as Tracing and resource utilization tracking

The kernel has support for the more commonly-used microcontroller architectures, such as ARMv6-M, ARMv7-M and ARMv8-M.
