+ * <li>PC simulator target included, the development can be done on the PC

+ * <li>Unlimited number of I/O queues.</li>
+ * <li>No static setup at compile time, there is no need to configure a maximum
+ * number of all the above resources.</li>
+ * <li>No *need* for a memory allocator, all the kernel structures are static
+ * and declaratively allocated. A memory allocator can be used in your

+ * <li>Threads, Semaphores, Event Sources, Virtual Timers creation/deletion at

+ * <li>Blocking and non blocking I/O channels with timeout and events generation
+ * capability.</li>
+ * <li>Pre-emptive scheduling.</li>
+ * <li>Minimal system requirements: about 8KiB ROM with all options enabled and
+ * speed optimizations on. The size can shrink under 2KiB by disabling the
+ * the unused subsystems and optimizing for size.</li>
+ * <li>Small memory footprint, unused subsystems can be excluded by the
+ * memory image.</li>
+ * <li>Almost totally written in C with little ASM code required for ports.</li>

+ * Semaphores and threads synchronization.
+ * <b>Operation mode</b><br><br>
+ * A semaphore is a threads synchronization object, some operations
+ * are defined on semaphores:<br>
+ * <ul>
+ * <li><b>Signal</b>: The semaphore counter is increased and if the result
+ * is non-positive then a waiting thread is removed from the semaphore
+ * queue and made ready for execution.</li>
+ * <li><b>Wait</b>: The semaphore counter is decreased and if the result
+ * becomes negative the thread is queued in the semaphore and suspended.
+ * </li>
+ * <li><b>Reset</b>: The semaphore counter is reset to a non-negative value
+ * and all the threads in the queue are released.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * Semaphores are mainly used as guards for mutual exclusion code zones but
+ * also have other uses, queues guards and counters as example.<br>
+ * In order to use the Semaphores APIs the \p CH_USE_SEMAPHORES
+ * option must be specified in \p chconf.h.<br><br>
+ * <b>Realtime Semaphores</b><br><br>
+ * The RT Semaphores work exactly like normal semaphores except that the
+ * thread gaining access to a mutex zone receives a priority boost, the
+ * priority is increased by \p MEPRIO and becomes higher than any thread that
+ * does not have the boost, note that all the boosted threads still keep their
+ * relative priorities.<br>
+ * Another difference is that the threads are queued by priority when trying
+ * to acquire RT semaphores, normal semaphores use a FIFO strategy.<br>
+ * The reason of this mechanism is to make the threads leave very critical
+ * guarded zones in a predictable time. Use this mechanism if your application
+ * has very strong realtime requirements.<br>
+ * In order to use the RT Semaphores APIs the \p CH_USE_RT_SEMAPHORES
+ * option must be specified in \p chconf.h.<br>

+ * that all the threads registered on the Event Source will receive
+ * and serve the event.<br>
+ * An unlimited number of Event Sources can exists in a system and each
+ * thread can listen on an unlimited number of them.<br>
+ * Note that the events can be asynchronously generated but are synchronously
+ * served, a thread can serve event by calling the \p chEvtWait()
+ * API. If an event is generated while a listening thread is not ready to
+ * serve it then the event becomes "pending" and will be served as soon the
+ * thread invokes the \p chEvtWait().<br>

+ * Messages are an easy to use and fast IPC mechanism, threads can both serve
+ * messages and send messages to other threads, the mechanism allows data to
+ * be carryed in both directions. Data is not copyed between the client and
+ * server threads but just a pointer passed so the exchange is very time
+ * efficient.<br>
+ * Messages are always processed in FIFO order.<br>
+ * Threads do not need to allocate space for message queues, the mechanism
+ * just requires two extra pointers in the \p Thread structure (the message

+ * @defgroup IOQueues I/O Queues
+ * @{
+ * ChibiOS/RT supports several kinds of queues. The queues are mostly used
+ * in serial-like device drivers. The device drivers are usually designed to
+ * have a lower side (lower driver, it is usually an interrupt service
+ * routine) and an upper side (upper driver, accessed by the application
+ * threads).<br>
+ * There are several kind of queues:<br>
+ * <ul>
+ * <li><b>Input queue</b>, monodirectional queue where the writer is the
+ * lower side and the reader is the upper side.</li>
+ * <li><b>Output queue</b>, monodirectional queue where the writer is the
+ * upper side and the reader is the lower side.</li>
+ * <li><b>Half duplex queue</b>, bidirectional queue where the buffer is shared
+ * between a receive and a transmit queues. This means that concurrent
+ * buffered input and output operations are not possible, this is perfectly
+ * acceptable for a lot of applications however, as example an RS485 driver.
+ * <li><b>Full duplex queue</b>, bidirectional queue where read and write
+ * operations can happen at the same time. Full duplex queues
+ * are implemented by pairing an input queue and an output queue together.
