Is it possible to run such design on small devices? Not too ambitious?
That should well be possible!
Is there somewhere an abacus with typical application complexity for a
given hardware ?
Usually you will run into memory problems first, as every thread needs
it's own stack.
Simple threads might be OK with a 200byte stack (like our idle thread),
printf needs ~1k of extra stacksize. So in ~2k stack, you can do a lot.
If you've got 16k to spare, 10 threads is not ambitious, depending on
what exactly they're doing.
4) I saw somewhere in the source code a strange excerpt dealing with
message-queue where there 's a problem if 2 messages come (the message
queue is sized to one only message) so a new one is created...
Strange, why not sizing the queue to 2 ?
IIRC that is taken from one of the test cases.
The issue is that a thread in that test is waiting for messages from an
ISR. The ISR cannot block on sending a message, so if it tries to send a
message while the thread is busy, that message gets lost. By design of
the test that thread can at most miss one message, so it set's up a
message queue that can hold exactly that message.
Cheers,
Kaspar
