One way to deal with the many available operating systems is to use OSAL. It's an abstraction layer for embedded OS (and POSIX). Admittedly I have mixed feelings about it since it creates work when debugging in a new OS: you need to trace which OS call OSAL is using.
- pantalaimon 8y agoBut the RTOS is already an abstraction layer around the hardware, how would adding another abstraction possibly help? It's not like you often find yourself in the situation where you want to run the same application on multiple RTOSes, it's usually way too specific to the device.

- noselasd 8y agoOSAL is written by NASA which do have that situation - NASA have systems they want to run on both Vxworks and RTEMS.
