# TactilityKernel
TactilityKernel is the core component of the Tactility project, providing a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and essential kernel services for embedded systems.
## Features
- **Device and Driver Model**: A flexible system for managing hardware devices and their corresponding drivers.
- **Peripheral Support**: Standard interfaces for common peripherals:
- GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output)
- I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)
- I2S (Inter-IC Sound)
- SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
- UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter)
- **Concurrency Primitives**: Built-in support for multi-threaded environments, including:
- Threads and Dispatchers
- Mutexes and Recursive Mutexes
- Event Groups
- Timers
- **Module System**: Support for loadable modules that can export symbols and provide runtime-extensible functionality.
- **Device Tree Integration**: Utilizes a devicetree-like system for hardware configuration and initialization.
- **Cross-Platform**: Designed to run on both embedded platforms (such as ESP32) and desktop environments (Linux) for simulation and testing.
