Supported Hardware
Specification of hardware supported by CMRX microkernel.
Open Source Software
CMRX real-time operating system is released under MIT license.
Memory Protection
CMRX kernel provides fine-grain isolation of firmware components. This feature is always on and does not require deep knowledge of the target hardware to operate.
Microkernel Architecture
CMRX is designed around micro-kernel. This design minimizes the amount of code running with highest privileges and gives ability to remove all unnecessary features without affecting stability.
Process Management
A process is like a separate program running in its own protected workspace. Think of it like each app on your smartphone - they run independently and can’t interfere with each other.
Inter-Process Communication
Inter-Process Communication (IPC) is how separate programs talk to each other. Since processes in CMRX are isolated and can’t directly access each other’s memory, they need special ways to share information and work together.
Static Operation
Static operation means everything in your system is decided and allocated before your program starts running.
Kernel Tests
The kernel of the CMRX RTOS has its own automated test suite. This test suite ensures that the core functionality of kernel remains intact and works as intended.
Hosted Execution
CMRX kernel is able to run both bare metal AND hosted under another operating system, possibly on machine that has completely different organization than a typical low-power microcontroller.
