Virtuoso Micro /SP and /MP
by Eonic Systems

Software Overview

Virtuoso Micro is a fast, preemptive multi-tasking kernel. Each microkernel task has its own stack 
and is scheduled in order of its priority. The microkernel interfaces directly with the interrupts 
(while global interrupts remain enabled). The microkernel offers a rich C-level API which is highly 
portable across processors, boards, and configurations.
Virtuoso Micro has the same API as the microkernel level API of Virtuoso Classico offering 
following services: Task management, counting semaphores, FIFO queues, synchronized mailboxes, 
memory allocation, resource protection, workload monitoring, interfaces with ISRs. Most services 
are provided in non-blocking, blocking, and timed-out versions. Group operations on tasks. 
Source-code versions can be stripped and rebuilt for smaller size.
