Hi,
I am evaluating various RTOS solutions for a very low power Cortex-M3 based device, and one of my requirements is that the MCU isn't woken up every n ms to handle a clock tick.
Various RTOS support the idea of 'tick supression' (called various things - tickless operation, managed sleep etc) - with the basic idea being that the next scheduled event is detected and the core put to sleep until that time, at which point the clocks etc are updated.
I don't see that RTX supports this feature, can anyone confirm either way?
Many thanks Jon

Mark,
Exactly what I was looking for - many thanks! I had a hunt through the docs and didn't see that. I shall have my eyes checked.
Regards Jon
