Position of T-Kernel

The position of T-Kernel in the overall T-Engine system is shown in Figure 1.

T-Kernel generally refers to all of T-Kernel Operating System (T-Kernel/OS), T-Kernel System Manager (T-Kernel/SM), and T-Kernel Debugger Support (T-Kernel/DS); but in some cases T-Kernel/OS only (narrow definition) is called T-Kernel.

T-Kernel/OS provides the following functions:

• Task Management Functions

• Task Synchronization Functions

• Task Exception Handling Functions

• Synchronization and Communication Functions

• Extended Synchronization and Communication Functions

• Memory Pool Management Functions

• Time Management Functions

• Interrupt Management Functions

• System Management Functions

• Subsystem Management Functions

T-Kernel/SM provides the following kinds of functions:

• System Memory Management Functions

• Address Space Management Functions

• Device Management Functions

• Interrupt Management Functions

• I/O Port Access Support Functions

• Power Management Functions

• System Configuration Information Management Functions

• Memory Cache Control Functions

• Physical Timer Functions

• Utility Functions

T-Kernel/DS provides the following kinds of functions exclusively for debugging use:

• Kernel Internal State Acquisition Functions

• Trace Functions
