Hi. I'm looking for a 32-bit kernel with preemptive multitasking (realtime is not required). It should be simple & lightweight, and be written in hardware independant C (with full sourcecode). Considering that my project requires a TCP/IP stack, I would prefer a kernel for which such support modules have already been ported. This is for replacing an 8-bit system to PowerPC. While I do...

Hi, My RTOS has hooks that let the "kernel" ask tasks (forget how that is defined) to voluntarily shed resources (time, memory, power). This lets the kernel (actually, a "special" user-land task that makes decisions *for* the kernel) throttle back the demands placed on the *fixed* resources to better adjust to the current demands placed on them. So, if some "new" task needs to be spaw...
