Reference Code
As optimization and adaptation are particularly important to small scaled embedded systems, unlike T-Kernel, µT-Kernel does not retain the unity of source code. Instead, it provides a source code for reference, called “reference code”.
The reference code is one implementation of the µT-Kernel, and is distributed by the T-Engine Forum. It is different from T-Kernel in that this reference code only represents µT-Kernel. OS implementors can modify it, or can implement it themselves. However, only those OS which behave in the same manner as the reference code are accepted as µT-Kernel specification OS.
The reference code defines detailed behaviors which are difficult to define in specifications, and deploying this reference code concept allows you to maintain the consistency of behaviors in various implementations, while promoting the optimization and adaptation in accordance with the targets.
