multipass is a C++ Library Operating System for a few embedded architectures. As such, it does not provide multi-threading support or similar conveniences. Its objective is similar to the Arduino environment: provide a simple framework for embedded application/driver development and evaluation with a main() and optional loop() function and a text output channel, and then get out of the way as much as possible. It favors simplicity over performance and abstraction. Re-using components outside of multipass should be fairly simple.

Application, architecture, and drivers are configured using make config (X11, kconfig-qconf) or make nconfig (Terminal, kconfig-nconf). Each application must implement int main(void) and do everything itself from that point on. If the loop or wakeup features are enabled, void loop(void) or void wakeup(void) must be implemented as well.
