<p>Xinu is a small, elegant, and easy to understand operating system, originally developed by Douglas Comer for instructional purposes at Purdue University in the 1980s. Since then it has been ported to many architectures and hardware platforms.
Xinu uses powerful primitives to provides all the componentes and the same functionality many conventional operating sytems supply. Since the whole source code size is small, Xinu is suitable for embedded systems.</p>
