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
