\section SECDESC Description

Basic RTOS (BRTOS) is a non-preemptive real time operating system for MSP430 microcontrollers.

Main features:

- Non-preemptive
- Round robin as task scheduling 
- Tasks with time slice support
- Interrupts are not handled by BRTOS at this moment (user must disable interrupts when running an interrupt routine)

Current limitations:

- Only support MSP430
- Task priorities are not implemented yet
- Timers and semaphores not implemented yet

\section SECDUSING Using Basic RTOS

- Download a copy of MSPGCC compiler for your host system:
  http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/ 
- You will need to run make. Download a copy of Unix Tools for Windows:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/
- Define your tasks inside \ref BRTOS_Application_Initialize() (see file \ref app.c for examples)
- Check your board clock. We are assuming a 1MHz clock and clock source as MCLK.
  See \ref BRTOS_ConfigureClock() and BRTOS_Initialize().  
- Go to brtos directory and type make to compile the code. Download it to your board.
