Single-address space, no processes?

[Sebastian Huber]

Hello,

I would like to use SSH to do some remote administration for an 
application running with the RTEMS real-time operating system. In this 
environment we have no virtual memory and user and kernel space 
separation. So this is like an application running in kernel mode only. 
Is it in possible to use the dropbear SSH server in such an environment? 
A quick grep showed that fork() is used for example to spawn new 
processes. Would it be possible to spawn a new thread instead (e.g. via 
pthread_create())?
