What's Chopstx?
===============

Chopstx is an RT thread library for STM32F103 (ARM Cortex-M3),
STM32F030 (ARM Cortex-M0), MKL27Z (ARM Cortex-M0plus), and
emulation on GNU/Linux.

While most RTOSes come with many features, drivers, and stacks,
Chopstx just offers a simple RT thread library.

With Chopstx, interrupt handling is also done by a thread.  This
enables coherent code for ease of maintenance.

Example code
============

We have some examples in this distribution; Useful ones are LED
blinker and USB CDC-ACM function.  For STM32F103, you can build it
USB CDC-ACM demo by:

   $ cd example-cdc
   $ ln -sf ../board/board-olimex-stm32-h103.h board.h
   $ make

For a specific board named FSM-55, an example of LED matrix dynamic
driver is provided.  See the directory: example-fsm-55.

For STM32 Primer2, see the directory: example-primer2.


Future Works
============

Convenience function to determine the bottom of thread stack,
configuration of thread size by comiler's output would be next things
to be done.

Experimental SMP port for Cortex-A7 is under development.  For SMP,
more careful considerations for shared access to objects of struct
chx_pq is needed.  So, modifications required will not be small.
