NicheTask™ – A Free Software Executive for Networked Devices
NicheTask™ is a free software executive designed for low-cost embedded
device and networked appliance developments. NicheTask was created
to meet the needs of those developments that do not require the full
features of a preemptive RTOS but do require simple to use task threading
support. NicheTask's cooperative multi-tasking model has exceptionally
low overhead, requires very little ROM, yet can support complex applications
and networking protocols such as the NicheStack TCP/IP product family.
The source code for NicheTask and available CPU ports is freely available
to commercial and non-commercial users under the NicheTask Open Source License.
