    NuttX

    NuttX

    Real-Time Embedded Operating System

    Nuttx is a real time embedded operating system (RTOS). Its goals are: (1) small footprint usable in deeply embedded, resource constrained environments, (2) fully scalable from tiny (8-bit) to moderate (32-bit), (3) standards compliance, (4) real time, and (5) totally open. Think "Tiny Linux". NuttX is now and Apache project in incubation. See https://nuttx.apache.org/download/ for the latest downloads.

    HelenOS

    HelenOS

    A microkernel-based multiserver operating system written from scratch.

    HelenOS is a portable microkernel-based multiserver operating system written from scratch. It decomposes key operating system functionality such as file systems, networking, device drivers and graphical user interface into a collection of fine-grained user space components that interact with each other via message passing. A failure or crash of one component does not directly harm others. HelenOS is therefore flexible, modular, extensible, fault tolerant and easy to understand. HelenOS does not aim to be a clone of any existing operating system and trades compatibility with legacy APIs for cleaner design. Most of HelenOS components have been made to order specifically for HelenOS so that its essential parts can stay free of adaptation layers, glue code, franken-components and the maintenance burden incurred by them.

    PROS

    PROS

    Custom firmware and IDE for the VEX Cortex Microcontroller

    This project has been moved to http://pros.cs.purdue.edu/ PROS is a lightweight and fast alternative operating system for the VEX Cortex Microcontroller. It features multitasking, low-level control, and Wiring compatible functions to harness the full power of the Cortex. With a real-time kernel based on FreeRTOS and a development environment built on Eclipse CDT, PROS uses proven software to increase the reliability and usability of the VEX development system across all three major computing platforms. PROS is currently under active development to make it usable for VEX high school and middle school teams. PROS is intended for advanced VEX users seeking to move beyond competing environments. Eclipse and FreeRTOS have their own licensing agreements. Please see http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html and http://www.freertos.org/a00114.html for details.

    Oberon V4

    Oberon V4 for Linux and sources for different Oberon V4 implementation

    Here you can find both an Oberon V4 system for Linux (x86) and a collection of Oberon V4 sources for various other platforms. Oberon V4 was implemented at ETH Zurich for several platforms. Binaries can be found on their server[1] and on the one of the University of Linz[2] where Mössenböck's group did further development after he left ETH and the Group at ETH concentrated on System 3. More Information can be found in the wiki https://sourceforge.net/p/oberon/wiki/Home/ of this Project and on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(operating_system). In 2013 they were moved here for easy access and, in case of interest, collaboration on further development. The Oberon mailing list[3] is an established channel for its discussion and followed also by the administrators of this SF project.

    Recursive LDD

    Recursive implementation of List Dynamic Dependencies (LDD)

    Recursive LDD (recursive-ldd) is a Perl script that allows displaying a tree-like hierarchy of shared library dependencies. The script calls on the standard Linux ldd utility in a recursion for every listed binary and library. It completes running when no matches are found in the current branch. It can also print unique values only as well as environment variables that affect the loading of libraries: LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD. Same limitations to standard ldd apply. Recursive-ldd cannot check libraries without read permissions.
