In this paper, we implement a hypervisor that runs multiple uC/OS-II real-time kernels on one microprocessor. The hypervisor virtualizes microprocessor and memory that are main resources managed by uC/OS-II kernel. Microprocessor is virtualized by controlling interrupts that uC/OS-II real-time kernel handles and memory is virtualized by partitioning physical memory. The hypervisor consists of three components: interrupt control routines that virtualize timer interrupt and software interrupt, a startup code that initializes the hypervisor and uC/OS-II kernels, and an API that provides communication between two kernels. The original uC/OS-II kernel needs to be modified slightly in source-code level to run on the hypervisor. We performed a real-time test and an independent computation test on Jupiter 32-bit EISC microprocessor and showed that the virtualized kernels run without problem. The result of our research can reduce the hardware cost, the system space and weight, and system power consumption when the hypervisor is applied in embedded applications that require many embedded microprocessors.

The fast processing ability of an RTOS (Real Time Operating System) is one of important factors in determining the performance of embedded systems. With the development of multimedia and telecommunication technology, the higher level of performance environments is required. Moreover there is some difficulty in improving the performance of an RTOS which is based on a microprocessor. In this paper, we propose a hardware architecture to implement some functions of uC/OS-II as a target RTOS for the purpose of its performance improvement. The proposed architecture for uC/OS-II is implemented and analyzed with the performance comparison.

In this paper, a general purpose embedded computer system is designed and implemented. The most crucial points of the system are extensibility and flexibility. The hardware of the developed system is composed of three modules and the software provides hardware independent application program interfaces. Moreover, uC/OS-II, a well-known open realtime kernel. is extended and ported onto the system. The extended uC/OS-II supports that multiple processes can have the same priority and such processes are scheduled in a round-robin manner.

In this paper, we proposes real-time operating system based PCM encoder for telemetry system that must transmit frames within a set time. In the case of large aircraft, the complexity of the system is increasing because a lot of state information is measured from each sensor and peripheral device. In addition, as the amount measurement data increases, the role of PCM encoder to transmit frames within a set time is becoming important. Existing encoder is inflexible when changing specifications or implementing additional features. Therefore, a design is needed to supplement this. We propose a PCM encoder design applying uC/OS-II. In order to confirm the validity, a simulation was performed to measure the execution time of the task to confirm the performance.

As Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), popular components in industrial control systems (ICS), are incorporated with the technologies such as micro-controllers, real-time operating systems, and communication capabilities. As the latest PLCs have been connected to the Internet, they are becoming a main target of cyber threats. This paper proposes two sanitizers that improve the security of uC/OS-II based firmware for a PLC. That is, we devise BU sanitizer for detecting out-of-bounds accesses to buffers and UaF sanitizer for fixing use-after-free bugs in the firmware. They can sanitize the binary firmware image generated in a desktop PC before downloading it to the PLC. The BU sanitizer can also detect the violation of control flow integrity using both call graph and symbols of functions in the firmware image. We have implemented the proposed two sanitizers as a prototype system on a PLC running uC/OS-II and demonstrated the effectiveness of them by performing experiments as well as comparing them with the existing sanitizers. These findings can be used to detect and mitigate unintended vulnerabilities during the firmware development phase.

Due to the increasing complexity of embedded system design, automatic code generation of embedded software and hardware-software co-design methodologies are gaining great interest from industries and academia. Such an automatic design methodologies are always demanding a formal system specification languages for defining designer's idea clearly and precisely. In this paper, we propose automatic embedded C code generation from SDL (Specification and Description Language, ITU-T recommended the SDL as a standard system description language) with considering a real-time uC/OS-II operating system. Our automatic embedded C code generator is expected to provide a fast specification, verification and performance evaluation platform for embedded software designs.

In this paper, we discuss about the real-time distributed system for the control of to motors using uCOS-II kernel. Real-time kernel needs to process the tasks for two motors in desired time to synchronize motion. We used both semaphore and message mail box for synchronization. In the previous study, we used step motors for the actuator of two axes robot, but could not draw a clear line because of motor resolution and synchronizing step pulse. To resolve the problem we rebuilt the transfer robot with DC motors and the dedicated position servor which had built in out lab. Moreover we developed the PC based graphic user interface for generating planar drawing image control. Experimental results also presented to show the proposed control system is useful.

최근에는 임베디드 시스템의 규모가 점차 커지고, 시스템이 노드단위로 분산되어 협업을 통한 작업을 하는 경향이 많아져, 시스템 디자인에 객체지향적인 패러다임이 필요하게 되었다. TMO 모델은 90년대 초반부터 U.C Irvine의 Kane.Kim 등에 의해 연구되고 있는 실시간 객체모델이다. TMO 모델은 SvM과 SpM의 두가지 메소드 타입으로 실시간 클럭에 의한 수행이나, 이벤트 발생에 의한 메소드 수행을 지원함으로써 분산 실시간 시스템의 설계를 용이하게 해준다. 본 논문에서는 TMO 모델에서의 향상된 채널 기반의 객체 간 통신 구조인 RMMC를 MicroC/OS-II에 맞게 적용하는 것에 대해 제안하고자 한다.

In this paper, a entertainment biped robot controlled by R/C servo motors is built using the embedded RTOS (Real Time Operating System). uC/OS-II V2.00 is used for RTOS and control algorithm of R/C servo motors is proposed based on uC/OS-II's preemptive and deterministic property without any extra PWM module. The realized biped robot has 19 DOF, and a board 80C196KC as main CPU. To verify the proper walking process, ZMP(Zero Moment Point) theory is applied and ADAMS is used for simulation.
