Hi,

OSAL refers to Operating system abstraction layer.
OSAL provides a better abstraction for the Applications and there by enhances the performance of the OS.

Migration to another OS is made easy using the OSAL.

Re: OSAL layer

Hi

As I understood OSAL is used as a defined interface layer to the OS so it will ease implementing your application using the OS if you are familiar with the Abstraction layer.
and it will ease the migration to other OS's having the same AL.
I This POSIX or part of it can be defined as an OSAL
