Thank you very much for your guidelines. I hankered after Pumkin Salvo (http://www.pumpkininc.com/) which has huge support for Microchip's devices. PIC12|14000|16|17|18 *PICmicro*(r) MCUs and also for *PIC24* MCUs and *dsPIC*(r) DSCs. Besides its ported other mcus as well. Lots application notes and programming examples are very significant on the view point of novice programmer. Restricted-demo version can be downloaded from that page. The most ported RTOS should be Micrium's. Huge range of mcu list.. MicroC/OS-II, The Real-Time Kernelbook is very outstanding but i dont think its a good starting point for the starter rtos app developer. Although Salvo can be good candidate for me to get started on that topic, the full version's price way over my budget. If i can find some help i will stick to free alternatives.
