Kernel

Phoenix-RTOS is based on the written from scratch dedicated microkernel and consists of about 20K lines of code (LoC). Microkernel is responsible for:

• memory management
• thread and process management
• inter-thread communication and synchronization
• basic application interface implementation (syscalls)

Kernel is divided into five subsystems.

• hal - hardware abstraction layer
• lib - common routines
• vm - virtual memory management
• proc - process and thread management
• test - internal tests for kernel subsystems

Kernel source code

The source code of the kernel could be obtained using the following command

    git clone http://github.com/phoenix-rtos.com/phoenix-rtos-kernel
