Node 20 is removed from the GitHub runners on 16 September 2026. Every run
in this repository currently emits the deprecation warning for it, naming
actions/checkout, actions/configure-pages, actions/upload-artifact,
LouisBrunner/checks-action and marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment among
others. After that date those actions stop working rather than warning, so
this is a deadline and not housekeeping.
Every action is now referenced by a 40-character commit SHA with the version
in a trailing comment. A tag can be repointed at any commit; a SHA cannot, so
this is what makes "which code ran in our CI" answerable from the repository
rather than from whatever the tag meant at the time. The versions were behind
by as much as four majors -- download-artifact was on v4.3.0 against v8.0.1 --
because nothing in this repository has ever reported that an action moved.
Compatibility was checked against each new action.yml rather than assumed,
for every input this repository actually passes:
checkout submodules is unchanged
cache path and key are unchanged
upload-artifact name, path and retention-days are unchanged
download-artifact pattern, merge-multiple and path are unchanged
configure-pages takes no input here, and none became required
deploy-pages still exposes page_url, which the job reads
upload-pages-art. path is unchanged
checks-action token, name, conclusion, output and
output_text_description_file all survive v2 to v3
sticky-comment header and path survive v2 to v3, and the new
GITHUB_TOKEN input defaults to github.token, which is
what v2 used implicitly
delete-artifact name survives v5 to v6, and useGlob still defaults to
true, so the coverage_report-* glob from #655 still
matches
CodeCoverageSummary already current at v1.3.0; pinned, not moved
The artifact pair moves together, as it must. The round trip was verified on
a runner before this commit: upload-artifact v7 to download-artifact v8,
through the pattern and merge-multiple selection #655 introduced, filtered 4
artifacts to 2 and produced exactly the tree the deploy expects.
Two behaviour changes worth knowing. download-artifact v8 adds a
digest-mismatch input defaulting to error, so a corrupted artifact now fails
the job instead of passing through -- the right default, but a change.
upload-artifact v6 and above require a runner of at least 2.327.1, which the
hosted runners satisfy and a self-hosted runner would need checking for.

Eclipse ThreadX RTOS
This advanced real-time operating system (RTOS) is designed specifically for deeply embedded applications. Among the multiple benefits it provides are advanced scheduling facilities, message passing, interrupt management, and messaging services. Eclipse ThreadX RTOS has many advanced features, including picokernel architecture, preemption threshold, event chaining, and a rich set of system services.
Here are the key features and modules of ThreadX:
Getting Started
Eclipse ThreadX has been integrated to the semiconductor's SDKs and development environment. You can develop using the tools of choice from STMicroelectronics, NXP, Renesas and Microchip.
We also provide getting started guide and samples using development boards from semiconductors you can build and test with.
See Overview of Eclipse ThreadX RTOS for the high-level overview.

Branches & Releases
The master branch has the most recent code with all new features and bug fixes. It does not represent the latest General Availability (GA) release of the library. Each official release (preview or GA) will be tagged to mark the commit and push it into the Github releases tab, e.g. v6.2-rel.
When you see xx-xx-xxxx, 6.x or x.x in function header, this means the file is not officially released yet. They will be updated in the next release. See example below.

Adaptation layer for ThreadX
ThreadX is an advanced real-time operating system (RTOS) designed specifically for deeply embedded applications. To help ease application migration to ThreadX RTOS, Eclipse ThreadX provides adaption layers for various legacy RTOS APIs (FreeRTOS, POSIX, OSEK, etc.).
Component dependencies
The main components of ThreadX RTOS are each provided in their own repository, but there are dependencies between them, as shown in the following graph. This is important to understand when setting up your builds.
You will have to take the dependency graph above into account when building anything other than ThreadX itself.
Building and using the library
Instruction for building the ThreadX as static library using Arm GNU Toolchain and CMake. If you are using toolchain and IDE from semiconductor, you might follow its own instructions to use ThreadX RTOS components as explained in the Getting Started section.
-
Install the following tools:
- CMake version 3.0 or later
- Arm GNU Toolchain for arm-none-eabi
- Ninja
-
Cloning the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/eclipse-threadx/threadx.git -
Define the features and addons you need in
tx_user.hand build together with the component source code. You can refer totx_user_sample.has an example. -
Building as a static library
Each component of ThreadX RTOS comes with a composable CMake-based build system that supports many different MCUs and host systems. Integrating any of these components into your device app code is as simple as adding a git submodule and then including it in your build using the CMake
add_subdirectory().While the typical usage pattern is to include ThreadX into your device code source tree to be built & linked with your code, you can compile this project as a standalone static library to confirm your build is set up correctly.
An example of building the library for Cortex-M4:
$ cmake -Bbuild -GNinja -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=cmake/cortex_m4.cmake . $ cmake --build ./build

You can also check previous questions or ask new ones on StackOverflow using the threadx-rtos and threadx tags.
Security
Eclipse ThreadX provides OEMs with components to secure communication and to create code and data isolation using underlying MCU/MPU hardware protection mechanisms. It is ultimately the responsibility of the device builder to ensure the device fully meets the evolving security requirements associated with its specific use case.
