 You can program the processor either using interrupts in a foreground/background system or means of an operating system. Some classes will be linked and loaded in either case. This is true for the class ''Kernel'' for basic initializations, the class ''Heap'' for dynamic memory allocation and the classes for exception handling. \\ You can program the processor either using interrupts in a foreground/background system or means of an operating system.

 When choosing an operating system you can select a simple, robust and very efficient non-preemtive tasking system (class ''Task''). The very popular MicroC/OSII will be also available on request. When choosing an operating system you can select a simple, robust and very efficient non-preemtive tasking system (class ''Task'').

 ===== Interrupts ===== ===== Interrupts =====
-A processor might have some sort of a hardware priorization scheme when dealing with interrupts. Some of the potential internal and external interrupt sources use vectoring or get vectored to the same memory location and are dealt with by a software scheduler. You have to assign a priority level to each of the interrupts. A low level means a high priority. In order to achieve highest efficiency, interrupt nesting is switched off. That makes it necessary to write small interrupt service routines.+A processor might have some sort of a hardware priorization scheme when dealing with interrupts.

You have to assign a priority level to each of the interrupts. A low level means a high priority. In order to achieve highest efficiency, interrupt nesting is switched off. That makes it necessary to write small interrupt service routines. Further, never allocate objects within an interrupt routine or in a method called by an interrupt routine, because the heap allocation methods are not thread safe for efficiency reasons.
