 The Embedded targets take a little more work to run, because they must be cross compiled and booted on the board. By copying a target, you should be able to come up with a new target.
 
 If you would like just the OSAL itself, just look in src/os/inc for the include files and src/os/<your os here> for the OSAL implementation.
