The real-time and * embedded characters are the most significant advantages of RT-Thread. * * - Real-Time Character * * RT-Thread has a real-time operating system kernel, with fully preempted * multi-thread scheduler, inter-thread communication with timing sensitivity * and transparent interrupt handling. * * - Embedded Character * * RT-Thread is suitable for embedded systems for small footprint characters. * The kernel is implemented as a simple C library. The simplest application * costs less than 1 Kbytes RAM on the ARM Cortex-M platform. * * @section kernel_arch RT-Thread Architecture * * RT-Thread system architecture is like: * @image html System_Arch.png "Figure 1: RT-Thread Architecture" * * @section kernel_service Kernel API * * The Kernel APIs are the core APIs of RT-Thread, which supports the following * features: * - Multi-thread management and scheduler * - Synchronization mechanisms, semaphore, recursive mutex and event set * - Inter-thread communication, mailbox and message queue * - Memory management, memory pool and dynamic heap memory management * - Asynchronous timer * * For more details, please refer to @ref Kernel * * @section system_init System Initialization * * Once RT-Thread operating system starts up, the facility in system must be initialized * firstly. * * For more details, please refer to @ref SystemInit */
