TinyB

TinyB is a small, open-source operating system designed for embedded systems and microcontrollers. Its primary goal is to provide a lightweight and efficient platform for resource-constrained devices. TinyB emphasizes simplicity and minimal overhead, making it suitable for applications where memory and processing power are limited.

The kernel of TinyB is designed to be modular, allowing developers to include only the necessary components for their specific application. This approach helps to reduce the overall footprint of the operating system. TinyB supports preemptive multitasking, enabling multiple tasks to run concurrently and efficiently manage system resources. It also includes basic inter-process communication mechanisms to facilitate coordination between different tasks.

Development of TinyB is typically done in C, with a focus on portability across different microcontroller architectures. The project aims to provide a stable and reliable foundation for embedded developers. Its small size and straightforward design make it an attractive option for hobbyists and professionals alike who are working on projects such as IoT devices, sensor networks, and control systems. Documentation for TinyB is available through its official project repositories, outlining its features, API, and usage examples.
