Tiivistelmä
The lightweight kernel developed in this thesis can be used for many purposes. The thesis provides a great tool for many students and companies as a starting point for different projects in ICT or embedded. The goal of the thesis is to develop a lightweight operating system kernel that does not consume a lot of resources but can still perform some specific tasks that are assigned. The lightweight operating system kernel in this project also has a great potential for further development into a fully functional system kernel that can be served for many purposes.
C++ is the main programming language that being used during the development of the kernel. Although C++ is not a well-known programming language for kernel development, but here the thesis work will show a way the development can also be done with C++.
The kernel developed in the thesis can be used as a guidance for students or
beginners that have great interest in operating system kernel development. This will be a starting point for further development, helping in educational purposes or it can fit in many embedded projects that are not require a fully functional system kernel that consumes more resources.
