uCOS_and_ARM_Cortex-M3

ARM has been working on a new architecture called the Cortex for a number of years. During development, µC/ OS-II was used to validate some of the design aspects and was used as a source of ideas to create new capabilities to support RTOSs. In other words, µC/ OS-II was the first RTOS ported to the Cortex. This application note describes the ‘official’ Micrium port for µC/ OS-II on the Cortex-M3 processor. Figure 1-1 shows a block diagram showing the relationship between your application, µC/ OS-II, the port code and the BSP (Board Support Package). Relevant se ctions of this application note are referenced on the figure.
