The ObjectWeb
THINK framework is a C
implementation targeting the embedded world of the highly flexible Fractal component model. It lets OS
architects assemble system components of arbitrary sizes in varied ways so that architectural aspects can be clearly separated from functional ones. Since v2, Think follows partially the Fractal component model
specification.
Think comes along with KORTEX, a library of already existing system components, implementing various functions on various targets (eg. ARM
, PowerPC
, x86
, Hitachi H8
, AVR
).

X86 architecture
The term x86 refers to a family of instruction set architectures based on the Intel 8086 CPU. The 8086 was launched in 1978 as a fully 16-bit extension of Intel's 8-bit based 8080 microprocessor and also introduced segmentation to overcome the 16-bit addressing barrier of such designs...
