MDOS Home














MDOS (Multi-tasking Disk Operating System) is an embedded OS, which runs on a number of CPUs and archictures. The main nano-kernel is less than 10KBytes in size, with additional libraries also being small and compact.

Designed from the ground up, it has inter-task communication, tasks & message queues only limited by memory, easy to use IO & IRQ handling, and libraries covering items such as high speed graphics, networking and communications (serial, IIC, SPI, TCP/IP) et al. All libraries are available in all versions (if relevant hardware support is present).

Being aimed directly at the embedded market, where Windows, WinCE and Linux are 'over kill'; MDOS can provide immediate and highly flexible solutions at an affordable price.

A full desktop replacement version of MDOS, called 'Adelian' is available for all supported CPUs. This is a fast and efficient OS replacement for desktops and laptop computers. Just think, a laptop, running an energy efficient ARM CPU, giving you email, web and office tools, which could run on batteries for days, not hours...

Licensing is free for the 'Basic' version, with other versions being on based per 'company' basis with no on going royalties.

The expected initial release date is the end of Q4 of 2013 with further documentation being added incrementally.

Our experience for our main supported CPUs at Partis Computing, is 27 years experience with the 80x86, 26 years with ARM, 23 years with 68x00, and 6 years with the Renesas M16C .


Currently supported CPUs are :
i386+ on PC type platforms (including embedded and custom systems)
Numerous ARM platforms
Numerous 68x00 platforms
Renesas M16C systems
Our own Luan RISC CPU
Other CPUs can be added upon request


Current task/library list :
Look to the left of this text to see the list of tasks/libraries we currently support. This list is being constantly added to either by further development or by customer requests. We will add libraries freely if we feel a customer request is useful to most other customers.

Custom tasks/libraries and complete systems are chargable, please contact us at info@partis.co.uk for a quote.
