The Phoenix-RTOS is an open source Unix-like real-time operating system based on a microkernel, aimed at the embedded systems market.

[edit] History

The Phoenix-RTOS was written by Paweł Pisarczyk as his Master of Science Thesis at Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology of the Warsaw University of Technology.

It was designed to run mainly on x86-based computers, but ports for ARM and PowerPC microprocessor architectures are under development (alpha versions for ARM7 TDMI core and PowerPC Open Firmware based architectures are available).

In 2004, Phoenix-RTOS became open source under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
