Real Time Executive for Missile Systems User's Guide: MC68020 C Interface

Abstract

This is a detailed design manual for the Real Time Executive for Missile Systems (RTEMS), a high performance environment for embedded military applications. Features include multitasking, homogenous and heterogenous multiprocessor systems, time event-driven, priority based, preemptive scheduling, intertask communication and synchronization, responsive interrupt management, dynamic memory allocation, and a high level of user configurability. RTEMS was developed to eliminate major drawbacks in ADA language. Based on the RTEID (now ORKID) proposed standard, RTEMS is government owned with no required licencing fee. Written in C language and assembly, the code was developed as a linkable and/or ROMable library for the ADA programming code. Developed for the Motorola 68000 series, it has been ported to Intel 80386 and 80960 series, with more ports planned for the future.Related documentation includes: Real Time Executive for Missile System MC68020 ADA Interface, Real Time Executive for Missile Systems MC68020 Timing Document, and Real Time Executive for Missile System MC68020 Assembly Interface. RTEMS documentation and code is available for the Motorola 68000 family, and the Intel 80386 and 80960 processor families.
