JOSEK: An Open-Source Implementation of the OSEK/VDX API

JOSEK is an open-source operating system that implements the API as specified by the OSEK operating system specification. JOSEK features a code generator. The JOSEK code generator takes as input an OSEK Implementation Language (OIL) file and generates a couple of ANSI-C output files which resemble an operating system variant that is fitted to the application's requirements.

Currently, the primary platform of JOSEK is the 8-bit AVR architecture. JOSEK also provides support for running an OSEK/VDX-application in a process on top of a x86-Linux system.

JOSEK was originally developed to serve as a base for KESO on AVR targets. Besides its original purpose, it is today used in lectures and other research projects where an OSEK/VDX-like operating system is useful as infrastructure software.

As of now, JOSEK supports OSEK/VDX conformance classes BCC1 and BCC2, i.e. support for extended tasks and events is currently missing. Support for these requires the use of multiple stacks, which still needs to be implemented and might be a problem on devices with very little memory. At the moment, a single stack is shared by all the basic tasks. The focus in developing JOSEK is to use a little resources as possible.
