FreeRTOS+POSIX: Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX threading wrapper) for FreeRTOS

The Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) is a family of standards specified by the IEEE Computer Society for maintaining compatibility between operating systems. FreeRTOS+POSIX implements a small subset of the POSIX threading API. This subset allows application developers familiar with POSIX API to develop a FreeRTOS application using POSIX like threading primitives. FreeRTOS+POSIX does not implement more than 80% of the POSIX API. Therefore, an existing POSIX compliant application or a POSIX compliant library cannot be ported to run on FreeRTOS Kernel using only this wrapper.
