Hi,

Thank for Your answer. Although I am still confused. As I know TCP
communication is not a problem for microcontrollers, so that cannot be
crucial cause for OS choice. Maybe something else is also necessary -
maybe acording memory - do you know?
Do you know where I can find a ported version of OMPI to
microcontrollers(hopefully with documentation :) ?  I admit that
having OS on the board is nice and gives a high level of abstraction.
But I belive that sometimes the lower level would be necessary - thats
why I force to find a solutions.
About this ported version - was it working properly?

Thanks in advance,
Mateusz Tasz
