The main objective behind Acorn kernel is creating an open source,robust micro kernel for 8bit Atmel AVR microprocessors written entirely in Assembler. The kernel by itself is a static preemptive operating system which basically means:

The operating system is logically divided into general and executive levels. Such division separates the system structures and procedures as to who and what can call them thus making the code development easier.

The development path being pursued is simplicity and easy to understand and apply methodology. In this regard help and collaboration from engineers as well as hobbyists is needed to bring this project to perfection.
