Which RTOS as substitution to uC/OS-II?

I always consider this inevitable when learning something new ... so documentation and

support (along with your own sweat) become really important. If you take some time

to master POSIX (especially pthreads and friends), or if you're already comfortable

with pthreads, you'll do fine with eCos or Linux (and many other RTOS flavors as well).

You might also want to take a look at Nucleus, which now supports Nios-II:

I've never used Nucleus ... at least not yet. It's not free, but it does support POSIX,

and you do get the source. From what I've heard so far, the support is good.
