I specifically asked for an example of relevant use of a URTOS on a system with no more than 128 RAM 4k code as you specify you are designing for. Erik I never intended that it should be limited to only such small systems, but that is should be capable of running on them. Also, a standard 8051 could have 64K of external code memory yet still be limited to two timers and 128 bytes of RAM. Having said that, I do expect there will be many applications for it on small systems. Not only that, as it will be feely available with source code, I sincerely hope it will be used by hobbyists as an introduction to the efficient design of reliable real time systems. Your initial question was: I would like you to suggest - just one - application running on a 128RAM (remember - none such exist with more than 4k FLASH/ROM) where a URTOS would have any benefits. The benefits of using an RTOS can include simpler development, fewer design errors, improved reliability, easier modification and maintainability. I would argue that almost any application with time related tasks could potentially benefit from a cooperative RTOS. I recommend you look at this page for a consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to real time programmes. http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/e...76/PgmOrg/ This is specific to the AVR but is generally applicable to any micro.
