Nil RTOS update - Fast and Tiny!

Development Libraries
37

There are some updates related to Nilrtos at chibios.org - do you plan an update too?

I plan to port the new version. This will actually be a large change.

the convergence process between Nil (now ChibiOS/NIL) and ChibiOS/RT is almost complete. Nil gained events and the API now is almost equal to the ChibiOS/RT API.

Now Nil has been integrated in the ChibiOS 3.0 development branch and is able to use the full HAL, the very same HAL used by ChibiOS/RT.

Starting from ChibiOS 3.0 Nil will be included in the same releases of the other products:

  1. ChibiOS/RT
  2. ChibiOS/NIL
  3. ChibiOS/HAL

Added to Nil:

  1. Support for stack checking.
  2. Events.
  3. Port to M3/M4.
  4. Simplified task declaration macros.
  5. Demos for F0/F3 Discovery boards.
  6. Strong commonality with ChibiOS/RT API and ports (very few differences in port files).

I will be be away for the last two weeks in September so I will start work on the new Nil in October.
