ChorusOS

ChorusOS is a microkernel real-time operating system designed for embedded systems. Sun Microsystems acquired Chorus Systems, the company which created ChorusOS, in 1997. Sun no longer supports ChorusOS. The founders of Chorus Systems started a new company called Jaluna in August 2002. Jaluna designs embedded systems using Linux and ChorusOS (which they dub "C5").
