Introduction 🚀

 A_A       _    MOS Real-Time Operating System
o'' )_____//    Simple RTOS on Cortex-M
 `_/  MOS  )    Developed with C/C++, Tested on Renode
 (_(_/--(_/     [Apache License Version 2.0]

Installation 📦

  • Run git submodule init && git submodule update to pull the submodules.
  • Install arm-none-eabi-gcc toolchain.
  • Install EIDE plugin, open *.code-workspace with VSCode, and run Build script to compile.
  • Install Renode emulation platform, and add renode to /usr/bin path.
  • Run ./run.sh emulation/*.resc to start the emulation, type s to start, and q to quit.
  • Open a TCP connection to localhost:3333/3334 and observe the serial output.

Version 🧾

📦 v0.1

✅ Done:

  • Basic data structures, scheduler, and task control, memory management

📌 Planned:

  • Inter-Process Communication (IPC), pipes, message queues
  • Process synchronization (Sync), semaphores, mutexes
  • Porting a simple Shell
  • Variable page sizes, memory allocator
  • SPI driver, porting GuiLite/LVGL graphics libraries
  • Porting to other boards/arch, e.g., ESP32-C3 (RISC-V)

📦 v0.2

✅ Done:

  • Synchronization primitives Sync::{Sema_t, Lock_t, Mutex_t<T>, CondVar_t, Barrier_t}
  • Scheduler::Policy::PreemptPri with round-robin RoundRobin scheduling for same priority levels
  • Task::terminate implicitly called upon task exit to reclaim resources
  • Simple command-line interaction Shell::{Command, CmdCall, launch}
  • HAL::STM32F4xx::SPI_t and Driver::Device::ST7735S_t, porting the GuiLite graphics library
  • Blocking delay with Kernel::Global::os_ticks and Task::delay

  • Support for GCC compilation, compatible with STM32Cube HAL
  • Real-time calendar HAL::STM32F4xx::RTC_t, CmdCall::date_cmd, App::Calendar
  • idle uses Kernel::Global::zombie_list to reclaim inactive pages
  • Three basic page allocation policies Page_t::Policy::{POOL, DYNAMIC, STATIC}

📦 v0.3

✅ Done:

  • Mapping Tids to BitMap_t
  • Message queue IPC::MsgQueue_t
  • Task::create allows generic function signatures as void fn(auto argv) with type checker

  • [Experimental] Atomic types <stdatomic.h>
  • [Experimental] Utils::IrqGuard_t, nested interrupt critical sections
  • [Experimental] Simple formal verification of Scheduler + Mutex

📌 Planned:

  • Inter-Process Communication: pipes/channels
  • FPU hardware float support
  • Performance benchmarking
  • Error handling with Result<T, E>, Option<T>
