New features

Version 3.06d

  1. Separate interrupt stack supported
    Interrupts use a separate interrupt stack, so that interrupts do not use the task stacks. This reduces the required stack for every task.

    embOS for 78K4 using IAR compiler was upgraded to version 3.06 with all features of actual embOS version 3.06 including embOSView

Improvements

Version 3.06

  1. Context switching time
    Context switching time has been measured as follows: 142us
  2. Interrupt latency
    Interrupt latency has been measured as follows: 56us
    Measurements were taken with a target running in LARGE memory model with 8bit external memory running at 16MHz

Program corrections

Version 3.06d

    Problem with Far code fixed.

Version 3.06

    None.

Known problems / limitations

Version 3.06d

  1. Register bank usage
    Initial register bank is fixed to bank 0 for embOS. Register bank 1 is also used by embOS for interrupt stack switching.

Version 3.06
