Do you have the uCOS-II 2nd Edition book? If so, there
are several ports to the ARM LPC. I implemented one
that uses the GCC compiler.

I find that using an RTOS makes for more modular code,
since the drivers for the keyboard, display, etc can
be written and tested independently of each other.

It really depends how much time you have to learn, if
you have never used uCOS-II before.

Cheers

  Thanks for the suggestion. I have the book on uCOS-II and i have tried to understand it once. I would like to know whether you have used the uCOS in any project and is the code stable so that i can use it any commercial project.
