One of the rtos i mention is eCos. My question is: since eCos is a multiTHREADING-rtos, does that mean it is the same like other multiTASKING-rtos? In usual OS the difference between thread and task is quiet clear, but is it the same with rtos? Does a thread in eCos also share adress-space,resssources and so on with other threads like in usual os? Thanks Malte
