Embedded Systems Research Group
Background
The Embedded Systems Research Group (ESRG) was formed in Janaury 2002
with the intention of developing a Posix real-time operating system atop a
micro-kernel for the Motorola 68HC12. Information regarding the process
of this research will be posted on this web site.
