Synchronization primitives in Miosix

A small and backwards compatible change in Miosix 1.61 made me think about low-level synchronization primitives, and the fact that doumentation on how to use them was lacking. So, here’s a page dedicated to this topic.

Miosix 1.54 released

After a lot of time spent coding, here’s the new release of Miosix, my OS kernel for microcontrollers.

New features include:

• Porting for ST’s Cortex M3 microcontrollers
• Preliminary implementation of the POSIX thread API (pthreads)
• Improved statistics on memory usage and debugging messages
• Bug fixes and other enhancements

Miosix kernel released

After one year of development in the spare time, I released the Miosix kernel under an open source license.

I published the kernel source code, the schematic of the Miosix board, the doxygen documentation, instructions for compiling the kernel, and my thesis.
