    If it's running on MMU-less systems, I'd be interested in how it loads multiple programs into memory: does it need to relocate each program binary? If so, doesn't that preclude using execute-in-place (XIP)?

      Generally, running in a MMU without static task config would require relocatable binaries. I'm not sure why it'd preclude execute-in-place. As a relocatable binary should be executable from generally any address space. However I suspect that hardware without an MMU is not super likely to be able to support XIP.

      It is based on FreeRTOS, so it should be fairly well documented.
