Multiprocessor RTOS for Altera FPGAs

Multiprocessor from the start

GeMRTOS is designed for multiprocessor operation from the start, not adapted to it. Scheduling, event handling and inter-processor mutual exclusion are part of the kernel and its FPGA controller, so multiprocessor behaviour is something you configure, rather than something you build.

Hybrid scheduling

GeMRTOS supports both preemptive and non-preemptive scheduling, giving precise control over task execution and prioritization, and can dedicate processors to external events to minimize interrupt latency.

Eleven ready-to-run examples

Task models, semaphores, message queues, hardware triggers, multiprocessor scheduling, fault handling and networking, each with an automated check on its own output. They run on development boards and in a Windows simulation layer that needs no FPGA.
