<div class="textblock"><p>This version of RTX implements the CMSIS-RTOS API, which is a generic RTOS interface for Cortex-M processor-based devices. The CMSIS-RTOS API provides a standardized interface for software components that require RTOS functionality. This RTX implementation gives therefore serious benefits to the users and the software industry.</p>
<ul>
<li>The unified feature set of the CMSIS-RTOS API simplifies sharing of software components and reduces learning efforts.</li>
<li>Middleware components that use the CMSIS-RTOS API are RTOS agnostic and CMSIS-RTOS compliant middleware is easier to adapt.</li>
<li>This RTX implementation is available under the BSD license and can be freely distributed with project templates.</li>
</ul>
<p>The CMSIS-RTOS RTX manages the resources of the microcontroller system and implements the concept of parallel threads that run concurrently. There are many advantages of using the CMSIS-RTOS RTX kernel.</p>
<p>Applications frequently require several concurrent activities. RTX can manage multiple concurrent activities at the time when they are needed. Each activity gets a separate thread which executes a specific task and this simplifies the overall program structure. The CMSIS-RTOS RTX system is scalable and additional threads can be added easily at a later time. Threads have a priority allowing faster execution of time-critical parts of an user application.</p>
<p>The CMSIS-RTOS RTX offers services needed in many real-time applications, for example, periodical activation of timer functions, memory management, and message exchange between threads with time limits.</p>

<div class="caption">
CMSIS-RTOS RTX Structure</div></div>
<p> Compared to the classic Keil RTX version, the CMSIS-RTOS RTX library is extended with the CMSIS API interface module (source file rt_cmsis.c) which implements the function translation. The header file <a class="el" href="cmsis__os_8h.html">cmsis_os.h</a> provides the API to the CMSIS-RTOS RTX for the user application. Refer to <a class="el" href="_using.html">Create a CMSIS-RTOS RTX Project</a> for more information.</p>
<p>CMSIS-RTOS RTX has several options that are configured with the <a class="el" href="_files.html#RTX_Conf_CM">RTX_Conf_CM.c</a> file. Refer to <a class="el" href="_configure.html">Configuration of CMSIS-RTOS RTX</a> for more information.</p>
<p>Attributes of the CMSIS-RTOS RTX implementation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Provides the complete functions specified for a CMSIS-RTOS with the exception of the function <a class="el" href="_technical_data.html#osWait">osWait</a>.</li>
<li>Interrupt Service Routines (ISR) <a class="el" href="_theory.html#isr_function_calls">may call some CMSIS-RTOS RTX functions</a>.</li>
<li>Configurations options for Thread Stack. Refer to <a class="el" href="_thread_config.html">Thread Configuration</a> for more information.</li>
<li>Fully deterministic context switching and deadlock avoidance. Refer to <a class="el" href="_theory.html#PriorityInversion">Priority Inversion on Resource Sharing</a> for more information.</li>
<li>Optional Round-Robin Thread switching with configurable time-slices. Refer to <a class="el" href="_thread_config.html">Thread Configuration</a> for more information.</li>
</ul>
