■ Notes on hardware
Note:
• Softune REALOS/907 requires a 16-bit microcontroller (F
2
MC-16L/16LX/16/16H/16F
series) with an internal delayed interrupt module and bit search module.
• One interrupt is required to operate the system clock. Normally, an interval timer is
used to generate fixed-period interrupts. An interval timer internal to the MCU can also
be used.
• The OS uses the delayed interrupt module. Do not specify a user program in the
delayed interrupt vector table.
• The performance of the OS improves if the system stack and kernel management data
areas are located in high-speed memory.
• Do not use the internal EI²OS in the microcontroller.
