'''Phoenix-RTOS''' is a [real-time operating system](/source/real-time_operating_system) designed for [Internet of Things](/source/Internet_of_Things) appliances. The main goal of the system is to facilitate the creation of "Software Defined Solutions".
== History ==
Phoenix-RTOS is the successor to the Phoenix [operating system](/source/operating_system), developed from 1999 to 2001 by Pawel Pisarczyk at the Department of Electronics and Information Technology at [Warsaw University of Technology](/source/Warsaw_University_of_Technology). Phoenix was originally implemented for [IA-32](/source/IA-32) [microprocessor](/source/microprocessor)s and was adapted to the [ARM7TDMI processor](/source/ARM7) in 2003, and the [PowerPC](/source/PowerPC) in 2004. The system is available under the [GPL license.](/source/GPL_License)
=== Phoenix-RTOS 2.0 ===
The decision to abandon the development of Phoenix and write the Phoenix-RTOS from scratch was taken by its creator in 2004. In 2010, the Phoenix Systems company was established, aiming to commercialize the system.
Phoenix-RTOS 2.0 is based on a [monolithic kernel](/source/monolithic_kernel). Initially versions for the [IA-32](/source/IA-32) processor and configurable [eSi-RISC](/source/eSi-RISC)[{{Cite web|url=https://www.chipestimate.com/news/19678/Phoenix-Systems-ports-Phoenix-RTOS-to-EnSilicas-eSi-RISC-processor-family?news=news&19678=19678|title=Phoenix Systems ports Phoenix-RTOS to EnSilica's eSi-RISC processor family|website=www.chipestimate.com|access-date=2016-11-29}}] were developed. In cooperation with [NXP Semiconductors](/source/NXP_Semiconductors), Phoenix-RTOS 2.0 was also adapted to the [Vybrid](/source/Vybrid_Series) ([ARM Cortex-A5](/source/ARM_Cortex-A5)) platform. This version is equipped with [PRIME](/source/PRIME_(PLC)) (Phoenix-PRIME) and the G3-PLC (Phoenix-G3) protocol support, used in [Smart Grid](/source/Smart_Grid) networks.
Phoenix-RTOS runs applications designed and written for the [Unix](/source/Unix) operating system.
=== Phoenix-RTOS 3.0 ===
Phoenix-RTOS version 3.0 is based on a [microkernel](/source/microkernel). It is geared towards measuring devices with low power consumption. The main problem with the first implementation was low kernel modularity and difficulties with the management process of software development ([device driver](/source/device_driver)s, [file system](/source/file_system) drivers). It is an open source operating system (on [BSD license](/source/BSD_licenses)), available on [GitHub](/source/GitHub).[{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/phoenix-rtos|title=Phoenix-RTOS 3 source code {{!}} GitHub|website=www.github.com|access-date=2020-07-29}}]
=== HaaS modules ===
The Phoenix-RTOS can be equipped with HaaS (Hardware as a Software) modules that allow the implementation of rich devices functionality, e.g. modems. Existing HaaS modules include:
