Pharos

Pharos is a Real-Time Operating System designed for Secure Systems.

Besides having all the nice real-time properties of a RTOS, it also allows the developer to create multiple separate applications (partitions) that cannot damage each other.

It allows the developer to create multiple partitions with a set of threads (executed in user mode), where each partition has its own address space and cannot access the area of another partition, following the microkernel philosophy, but still being fast.

It also includes many other features (like inter-partition comms). Checkout the wiki page for more info.

It is currently developed for ARM (Arm926ej-s and Cortex R5). Cortex M4 port is next.

Version 1.1.0 has been released. See https://sourceforge.net/projects/rtospharos/files/1.1.0/ to download.
