Flying Objects is a real time operating system for the Siemens C167 or ST/spl sim/10 built in C++ from the scratch, without sacrificing a significant amount of resources, including time, when compared to other real time operating systems, programmed in C. The purpose of Flying Objects is to provide the applications developer the resources to easily build an embedded system through a well defined high level interface, with little or no recourse to low level, buffer oriented programming. Flying Objects has a strong influence from the programming environments and philosophy of Java and Smalltalk. Every application is an object with a state machine, and the memory space is shared among the concurrent threads. There are plans to port Flying Objects to other microcontrollers.
