RTOS¶

page to save some thoughts on firmware directions

current situation for released firmware:

• build online on mbed.org
• using closed mbed libs for e.g. ethernet

next step

• do offline compiling using gcc4mbed
• still using mbed libs

When making a step away from the mbed libs, we probably also need to look for an alternative of the MBED e.g. LPC1768.

feature list for new firmware environment

• open source
• ethernet support
• build environment in linux
• support for cortex-m3
• board support for LPC1768 / LCP1769
• RTOS
