Bah :-)

Why in heavens name?  For a 6811?!?

Shoot, just code an event loop;  set up a few interrupt handlers as needed
for your application and voila!   No messy licensing or weeks of obsessing
over selecting the "right RTOS".
 
I've been down the heavyweight RTOS path with nearly every player
in the market.   Much of the time doing that was wasted.  In retrospect
each of those applications could have done without the RTOS.

I'm back to "old-school" for nearly everything embedded these days...
down and dirty on bare metal.

For our rewards we obtain far less complexity, complete control over
the execution path and ALL the source code ;-)
