From http://www.segger.com/embos-for-pic32-cpus-and-microchip-compiler.html

embOS for PIC32 was developed for and with Microchips’s compiler version 7.62.09 and supports all memory models offered by this compiler. It comes with easy to use start projects for Microchips’s MPLAB workbench.

embOS

Real time operating system

embOS is a priority-controlled real time operating system, designed to be used as foundation for the development of embedded real-time applications. It is a zero interrupt latency*, high-performance RTOS that has been optimized for minimum memory consumption in both RAM and ROM, as well as high speed and versatility. Throughout the development process of embOS, the limited resources of microcontrollers have always been kept in mind. The internal structure of embOS has been optimized in a variety of applications with different customers, to fit the needs of different industries. embOS is fully source-compatible on different platforms (8/16/32 bits), making it easy to port applications to different CPUs. Its’ highly modular structure ensures that only those functions that are needed are linked, keeping the ROM size very small. Tasks can easily be created and safely communicate with each other using a complete palette of communication mechanisms such as semaphores, mailboxes, and events. Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs) can also take advantage of these communication mechanisms.

* High priority interrupts are never disabled by embOS.

From: http://www.qwikandlow.com/

As embedded microcontrollers reach into all corners of modern life, many applications can benefit from coin-cell battery power. Some benefits are reduced product size and cost, enhanced design simplicity, portability, and electrical isolation. Microchip Technology, the number one supplier of 8-bit microcontrollers in the world, is using their nanoWatt Technology features to achieve these benefits.This book explores how these features impact the design process. It employs the Qwik&Low board shown on the cover as the learning vehicle for the reader. The board is available as Microchip Technology’s Part No. DM183034. For purchase information, see http://www.qwikandlow.com/purchase/ This book introduces the reader to code writing for a microcontroller via a series of template files and using Microchip’s free version of their C compiler for their PIC18 family of microcontrollers. Free supporting tools are available at the author’s website, http://www.qwikandlow.com, including QwikBug, a debugging user interface for downloading code to the Qwik&Low board, running that code, and debugging it using a serial PC connection (via either a serial cable or a USB-to-serial adapter).About the author: John Peatman, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is the author of six earlier textbooks (two from Prentice Hall and four from McGraw-Hill).
