I'm not gonna be angry at false advertising, but OS attempts only become appropriate to discuss once you made drivers and actually ran stuff on physical hardware
Before that point it's just one of the many dozens and dozens other half-efforted attempts at OS that have been done over and over to death by now
If it's running on MMU-less systems, I'd be interested in how it loads multiple programs into memory: does it need to relocate each program binary? If so, doesn't that preclude using execute-in-place (XIP)?
Generally, running in a MMU without static task config would require relocatable binaries. I'm not sure why it'd preclude execute-in-place. As a relocatable binary should be executable from generally any address space. However I suspect that hardware without an MMU is not super likely to be able to support XIP.
It is based on FreeRTOS, so it should be fairly well documented.

This seems strange to me. Don't most microcontrollers support executing directly from flash? Some even can't execute from RAM.
Though I agree with the main point, you can compile code as "PIC" - position independent code, and not bother with (ELF) relocations except for linking.
