-\section overview Overview
-
-BeRTOS is a real-time operating system designed for building applications
-for embedded systems, like reference boards, test boards, or custom boards.
-
-It has a modular structure: its components can be used in very different
-environments, from 8-bit processor to Linux and Win32 hosted application
-(for debug purpose), using a wide range of compilers.
-
-\section history History and Motivation
-
-BeRTOS was born as a extremely modular, highly optimized and fine-tuned
-operating system for embedded programming.
-As a result, each module has its own scope and can be used alone or in
-cooperation with other modules.
-It's even possible to use most of the drivers without activating the kernel module.
-
-We have grown it following our guidelines: simplicity and beauty.
-These guidelines made it possible to evolve it in a full-featured real
-time operating system, with more modularity than many other embedded OSes,
-without giving up reliability and performace.
-
-To achieve the highest possible reusability, most BeRTOS components are
-designed for fine-grained modularity and minimal external dependencies.
-Most non-essential features can be configured out for applications with small
-memory footprint requirements.
-
-\section features Features
-
- - multitasking kernel with IPC, semaphores, priority levels;
- - a comprehensive set of generic drivers for a wide range of devices,
- which can be easily customized to the actual hardware: timer, serial,
- adc, ntc, pwm, stepper motors, dc motors, lcd, keyboards, buzzer, eeprom;
- - full graphic subsystem for simple displays, with font support, bitmaps,
- clipping, text formatting, interactive menus;
- - simple console with command parser;
- - readline-like support for command history;
- - entropy generator and random numbers generator optimized for embedded
- systems;
- - checksumming and hashing functions (CRC, MD2);
- - full hash-table implementation with double-hashing collision resolution;
- - XMODEM protocol implementation;
- - RLE compression algorithm;
-
-\section structure Directory Structure
-
-The modules are sorted in subdirectories by their category:
-
- - app/ : demo applications;
- - bertos/algo/ : algorithms;
- - bertos/cfg/ : configuration stuff;
- - bertos/drv/ : hardware drivers;
- - bertos/dt/ : experimental object oriented gui toolkit;
- - bertos/emul/ : Qt-based emulator framework for embedded applications;
- - bertos/fonts/ : fonts;
- - bertos/fs/ : file system related stuff;
- - bertos/gfx/ : general purpose graphics routines;
- - bertos/gui/ : widgets for simple displays;
- - bertos/hw/ : hardware-specific declarations;
- - bertos/icons/ : conversion tool from image TXT format to LCD bitmap;
- - bertos/kern/ : multitasking kernel;
- - bertos/mware/ : algorithms, other standalone code;
- - bertos/struct/ : containers and other data structures;
- - bertos/os/ : OS-abstraction layers for hosted environments;
- - doc/ : documentation;
-
-The top-level directory contains a few support headers that are meant to be
-usable by any C/C++ embedded or hosted application.
