µCμC/CAN assumes the presence of an RTOS but, the RTOS layer allows µCμC/CAN to be independent of any specific RTOS.

As a minimum, the RTOS you use needs to provide the following services:-

• Semaphore

...

• Timer Services (to get time)

µCμC/CAN is provided with a µCμC/OS-II and µCμC/OS-III interface. If you use a different RTOS, you can use the can_os.* for µCμC/OS-II or µCμC/OS-III as a template to interface to the RTOS of your choice.

It’s Its also possible to use µCμC/CAN without an RTOS. In this case the function to get time information needs to be supplied. Note that the supplied file can_no_os.* files for NO OS ('NONE') is replacing the OS semaphore and is polling on the flags instead. This might result in a decrease of overall system performance.
