Introduction 
This is a port of the uC/OS-II Real Time Operating System, using the SDCC(Small Device C Compiler) for HiTech Equipment's 8031SDK. A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system that guarantees a certain capability within a specified time constraint. There are many different RTOSs available ranging from $10,000 fully supported closed source to Free Community supported Open Source. uC/OS-II is somewhere in between being Freely available but well supported Open Source with royalty fees for commercial use. It is certified for avionics, medical, transportation, and nuclear systems. |
SDCC is a Freely available Open Source Community supported C compiler. It currently works for Intel 8051, Maxim 80DS390, Zilog Z80, Freescale, 68HC08 and MicroChip PIC 16 & 18 series. It features a debugger, simulator, assembler, linker, and extensive MCU specific language extensions and optimizations.
HiTech Equipment's 8031 SDK is an 8051 based development board which combines a 40 pin 8032 processor with a monitor ROM, external serial port, flexible address decoding, and ICE capabilities. It is the main development platform in the Embedded Computer Engineering program at UCSD Extension. This port should be very useful to students as it will allow them to develop uC/OS-II applications without the code size and other limits placed on educational releases of Commercial Compilers. Although I was primarily hoping the Port would help other students, I feel the Documentation, Test App, and Real Time Analysis should be valuable to anyone using uC/OS-II(ucos-ii,ucos,ucosii), SDCC, or 8031sdk.
