I have to make an rtos for 8051.
1.what are the functions performed by bootloader during startup of the chip? if i can execute a program on my chip stored at any location in memory then what do i mean by making a separate OS for 8051?
please help me..

it can do.... but youve got to use a 8051 microprocessor core running at more than 1500MHz
BULL!!!
the correct statement would be "it can NOT do since no 8051 microprocessor core running at more than 1500MHz exist".
I repeat a RTOS for the '51 is trying to for a square peg in a round hole

With powerful chips like the big SiLabs ones, and especially the extended ones like Dallas with >>64K linear code space, there most certainly are applications where an 8051-derivative could be used and an RTOS could be appropriate.
Sure, these are at the "high end", and I stand by my earlier assertion that, In general, applications that are suitable for implementation on an 8051 do not need an RTOS - but that is quite a bit different from just calling it unqualified BULL...
