It likely refers to the popular STM32F4 Discovery board [0], which is a devkit for that family of uCs. Good for prototyping, has an onboard programmer and everything. It has 1MB of flash, so I think this line means "if you wanted to use this board, you'd be better off with a full RTOS that can make use of that code space, rather than M2OS which is optimized for single-kB flash sizes".
The rest of your comment I agree with. It seems to be a half-baked academic project. Might be interesting if you know anything about Ada, which I don't.

- ajxs 6y agoThe Software engineering and real-time group at the Universidad de Cantabria seem to be pretty well credentialed in this area. They produced a viable RTOS some years ago called MarteOS ( https://marte.unican.es/ https://marte.unican.es/ ) This is no small feat.
- HeyLaughingBoy 6y agoThat had me scratching my head too. I have a board next to me based on the STM32F407, which is the same MCU as the Discovery board (we prototyped on the Discovery board actually) and it definitely has the capability to run an RTOS.
- jnwatson 6y agoI interpreted it the other way: it has too much RAM to justify a micro-OS.
