What is Helium? Helium is a minimalistic real-time kernel for the HC(S)08 core by Freescale and Atmel AVR.

Update. I'm becoming more and more frusterated with Freescale's development environment. The code size limitation in Codewarrior is particularly obnoxious. Therefore, future releases of Helium will compile with gcc. Codesourcery provides a pre-compiled command line toolchain featuring gcc, g++, etc. as well as linker scripts and startup code for the 68k/Coldfire architecture.

2009-2-28 HELIUM 2 RELEASED. Go to the downloads page to get your very own copy.
