This chapter builds on the material supplied in the C5 2.1 Installation Guide and describes the C5 operating system in terms of the system image and the basic and extended profiles.
The C5 operating system is supplied with two standard images:
kernonly, which contains the microkernel only and provides a minimal base for porting.
chorus, which contains a full system image allowing configuration of the whole feature set.
For information about system image components, see Section 2.1.4, “System Image Components”
Refer to the C5 2.1 Installation Guide for information about downloading and building the kernonly and chorus system images from the distribution. For a definition of the system image, see “the C5 System Image” in C5 2.1 Application Developer's Guide.
