A small update, the convergence process between Nil (now ChibiOS/RT) and ChibiOS/RT is almost complete. Nil gained events and the API now is almost equal to the ChibiOS/RT API.
Now Nil has been integrated in the ChibiOS 3.0 development branch and is able to use the full HAL, the very same HAL used by ChibiOS/RT.
An example:

Starting from ChibiOS 3.0 Nil will be included in the same releases of the other products:
1) ChibiOS/RT
2) ChibiOS/NIL
3) ChibiOS/HAL
I love that family feeling
The curious among you can checkout this location: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/chibios/svn/br ... nel_3_dev/
The old Nil repository is frozen now.
