operational system on 8bit microcontroller

[Amin Khorsandi]

hello guys
I want to know if there is an appropriate operational system for 8bit micro controllers.
I'm working on avr and new Xmega family.
does anyone have an idea?

Hello!

Do you mean operating system?
There are plenty on the net.

Search for RTOS, you'll get plenty of results

Most XMEGA development board comes with boot loader, then you can communicate with MCU without programmer

thanks every body. someone reccomended me this:
**broken link removed**
is there any good?
and also I want to work on avr and xmega family too. can I change sources for working on both families?

depends entirely on the task you are trying to do with the mcu..

Simple tasks may not warrant an operating system.

thanks

I'm looking for convenience in my programs. for example multitasking. I'm tired of writing programs in a usual mode that takes my time for multitasking and being aware of data concurrency.

What kind of programs are these ?? Are the tasks complex and involved ??

If the programs are very complex, then maybe you are better of using a off-the shelf SBC like the raspberry or the beaglebone, here you get the latest OS and also multi-task.

I think you need to try out some RTOS before deciding on a solution...

thanks
