VELOOS – Very Low Overhead Operating System
VELOOS is a message-triggered cooperative operating system designed to run in places were a large vehicles can not run. Its implementation for PIC12F takes less than 200 instructions and 20 data registers1. With addition of a timer driver, it becomes a time-triggered RTOS.

In this post I present my vision of e# reflected through history of assemblers. For each stage in the assemblers’ history I am providing presumptive equivalents in e#, incrementing the complexity of each next example.

I envision the following benefits of using e#
- It will allow writing better quality code in shorter time
- It will reduce maintenance cost by providing abilities for regression testing (on a simulator or in-circuit debugger)
- It will reduce impact of migrating to another device/platform

Preface
I would like to discuss with you my ideas on new programming language for embedded applications, denoted further as e#. I value your time and therefore in this post I am trying to be short and precise as much as possible.

This post provides my look on MP ASM and an attempt to analyze and decompose it on parts. Despite this post provides ‘partitioning’ of a MP ASM only, many similarities can be found in other assemblers.

This post presents an alternate implementation of SISAM hardware – a “COM2” plug-in. It is designed for plugging in ahead of a bracket DB9 cable, usually used for accommodating a second serial port. This implementation uses a different MCU – PIC16F88, which allows the application to utilize 30% more RAM for the sampling buffer.
