Basic System-Level Software for a Single-Core MERASA Processor

Technical Report, Institute of Computer Science, University of Augsburg, April 2008

Abstract

In the EC FP-7 MERASA project a hard real-time capable multi-core processor is developed. The system-level software represents an abstraction layer between application software and embedded hardware. It has to provide basic functions of a real-time operating system.

This report presents requirements for a multi-threaded hard real-time capable system-level software in embedded systems and the transfer to the implemented MERASA / CareCore single-core processor showing details of the thread management, the dynamic memory management and the resource management. It summarizes the MERASA system-level software version 1 developed for a single multi-threaded core processor running on the CarCore / MERASA SystemC Simulator version 1.
