There are 1 incomplete or pending task to finish installation of Semantic MediaWiki. An administrator or user with sufficient rights can complete it. This should be done before adding new data to avoid inconsistencies.1. Overview of Azure RTOS ThreadX OS
- Picokernel, preemption-threshold, event-chaining unique features
- Execution profiling and performance metrics
- Totally available in source code (ANSI C and assembler)
- Safety Certifications (TÜV, MISRA, UL)
- Integrated with other Azure RTOS components:
- USBX
- NETX and NETXDUO
- FILEX
- LEVELX
