  • Abstract
    Most resource limited embedded systems are programmed using super-loop architecture. Although programs written for super-loop architecture are hard to debug and maintain, however it requires much less memory which makes it suitable for resource limited devices. In this paper, we propose an operating system ¿Romantiki¿ that combines the resource efficiency of super-loop architecture while featuring traditional multitasking coding style which makes it easy to develop and maintain complex projects for. We also compare the speed and memory requirements for Romantiki with a commonly used OS for embedded devices (FreeRTOS).
