Contiki is a free , Internet- enabled operating system for 8-bit computers and integrated microcontrollers , including nodes in a sensor network , developed by Adam Dunkels .
Contiki offers a simple event-driven operating system kernel with so-called protothreads , optional preemptive multiprogramming , interprocess communication via message passing through events , a dynamic process structure with support for loading and unloading programs , native TCP / IP support via the uIP TCP / IP stack and a graphic User interface that can be used directly on a screen or as a virtual display via Telnet or VNC . The memory consumption is only a few kilobytes and can be reduced to a few dozen bytes for extremely restricted systems if required. Contiki now also supports IPv6 (uIPv6).
In terms of application programs, the system offers a web browser , a web server , a Telnet server and much more.
Because of its portability , this system has been and is adapted to many computers, such as Atari 8-bit computers or Apple II . One of the most actively developed ports is the one on the C64 , which even supports an Ethernet connection also developed by Adam Dunkels . PCs can run Contiki and there is even a port for smaller game consoles like the Game Boy .
