Micrium* MicroC/OS-II is a portable, scalable, preemptive real-time operating system that has been ported and optimized to run on the Nios® II processor. MicroC/OS-II can manage up to 255 application tasks and provides the following services:
- Semaphores
- Mutual exclusion semaphores (to reduce priority inversions)
- Event flags
- Message mailboxes
- Message queues
- Timer management
- Task management (create, delete, change priority, suspend/resume, etc.)
- Fixed-sized memory block management
- Time management
