Yes, multitasking OSs are available for the '51 e.g. CMX and the whole purpose of using a microcontroller as opposed to a microprocessor is lost. While I entirely agree that the very idea of an RTOS on an 8051 is almost certainly folly, I can't agree with "...the whole purpose of using a microcontroller as opposed to a microprocessor is lost" There are many high-powered microcontrollers available (eg ARM to name but one), and the use of an RTOS in an embedded system that requires such a processor is often entirely reasonable! But, again, the likelihood that an RTOS is of any benefit to any application appropriate to an 8051 is minimal. As for using Linux - well, Jez summed it up exaclty: Jez Smith said:
