The µOS++ IIIe (micro oh ɛs plus plus third edition) project is the third iteration of µOS++, a POSIX-like, portable, open source, royalty-free, multi-tasking real-time framework intended for 32/64-bits embedded applications, written in C++. The project is hosted on GitHub as micro-os-plus. It has a comprehensive User’s manual. The APIs are documented in the µOS++ reference.
POSIX++ is another point of view of the project; with most system APIs using the POSIX semantics, but being written in C++, the µOS++ IIIe APIs can also be seen as a C++ version of POSIX, thus the name POSIX++.
The µOS++ IIIe project can be considered from several points of view.
Although generally associated with its RTOS, µOS++ IIIe is actually a framework, a collection of APIs, components and technologies.
One of the main APIs is the µOS++ RTOS API, but applications based on µOS++ may run very well without a RTOS, or even use a different RTOS.
For a better portability, the entire framework is layered, the µOS++ RTOS API provides a common public interface to the applications, but the implementation is separate, it might be that of its own µOS++ RTOS reference implementation, but it may very well be another implementation, even a custom one specific to the application.
From an embedded system point of view, µOS++ IIIe provides the reference implementation for the scheduler and portable synchronisation objects (like mutex, semaphore, etc).
From a modular point of view, µOS++ IIIe is a collection of packages hosted on GitHub in two locations:
