* Compact, ROMable real time operating system * Rapid task context switching * Fast interrupt response * Nested interrupts with priority ordering * Preemptive, priority based task scheduler * Timing support for delays, timeouts, periodic events * Time slicing option with adjustable slices * Message passing with configurable message length * Dynamic task creation and dynamic task priorities * Protection against task priority inversion

* Task procedures can be outlined in the same style as when using a traditional preemptive RTOS. * cocoOS is extremely portable to any target which makes it a perfect choice during early phases in the development when which OS to use is still an open issue. * cocoOS is released under a BSD license.
