I am working on wireless MAC with ARM-9 based SOC. I wanted to port
silRTOS on this ARM-9 based SOC.
As i ‘m newbie to ARM architecture, can someone provide me source for
ARM port of silRTOS or help me out in porting?

Any help will be appreciated !!

Why? What makes you think that silRTOS is suitable for your project?

What needs to be done to port this OS?

What are you paying?

We evaluated many available RTOS and found silRTOS most suitable for
our system from couple of points like
#. silRTOS has small foot print for low overhead RAM/ROM & CPU
cycles, yet clean embedded software.
#. silRTOS supports basic services of task/ISR/sem/Q & simple Memory
Management.
#. silRTOS supports GNU Tool chain support with development host as
WINDOWS/LINUX.
#. silRTOS source available freely.
#. silRTOS provide free support available for RTOS.
#. silRTOS provides simple priority scheduling.
#. silRTOS provides commercial usage FREE (NO one time change, NO
productline charges, NO Royalty)
#. silRTOS is widely used and ported to different architecture and
even used in safe-critical applications.

We couldn't find any other RTOS which is small & free. Other RTOS have
some or other constraints for usage. (Google)

silRTOS Port on ARM requires few functions to be implemented, which
are processor specific like Context switch for ARM (Processor Register
save/restore). I believe it should be fairly easy task for one who
worked on ARM.

I believe here you refer silRTOS cost, as mention above that silRTOS
is absolutly FREE for commercial usage.

If it is free and open source, why not email your package to him and
eliminate all the hassle?
