professional grade, cross platform standard for microcontrollers.
31 architectures - 18 toolchains,
millions of product deployments - just 1 market leading RTOS.
FreeRTOS+TraceTM
(part of the FreeRTOS+ ecosystem showcase) is a trace tool for FreeRTOS. With 15 graphically interconnected
views, FreeRTOS+Trace provides a world leading level of insight into the run-time behaviour of your FreeRTOS application, and become
an indispensable debugging and optimisation tool.
OpenRTOSTM
is a commercially licensed and supported version of FreeRTOS
that includes fully featured professional grade USB, file system and TCP/IP components.
OpenRTOS is provided by a global engineering company under license from Real Time Engineers Ltd.

Did you know?
FreeRTOS came top in the 2011 EETimes embedded systems market study in two categories: The kernel currently being used, and the kernel being considered for the next project!
FreeRTOS at ESC Design West: After a successful
Embedded World, Richard Barry from FreeRTOS will be on the Nabto
stand (both 1045) at ESC in San Hose, where you can see the new FreeRTOS+Nabto hardware. Richard will also be
presenting free sessions
on getting started with FreeRTOS on NXP microcontrollers.
Real Time Engineers Ltd. has announced a major expansion program that increases developer
productivity and adds advanced networking and internet features to the world’s most popular embedded systems kernel.
The new features are also supported by a dedicated website portal: www.FreeRTOS.org/FreeRTOS-Plus
"It's probably safe to say at this point that FreeRTOS goes through more 'peer-review' than any other RTOS available on the planet.
I have used it in several projects - one of which was a multiprocessor environment that used more than 64 processors and needed to run for months
reliably. The RTOS core performed well.
Take FreeRTOS for a spin." - John Westmoreland
Here are some reasons why FreeRTOS is a good choice for your next application - FreeRTOS...
Provides one solution for many different architectures and development tools.
Is known to be reliable. Confidence is assured by the activities undertaken by the SafeRTOS sister project.
Is undergoing continuous active development.
Has a minimal ROM, RAM and processing overhead. Typically a kernel binary image will be in the region of 4K to 9K bytes.
Is very simple - the core of the kernel is contained in only 3 C files.
The majority of the many files included in the .zip file download relate only to the numerous demonstration applications.
Is truly free for use in commercial applications (see license conditions for details).
Comes with a porting, platform development, or application development service should it be required.
Is well established with a large and ever growing user base.
Contains a pre-configured example for each port. No need to figure out how to setup a project - just download and compile!
Has an excellent and active free support forum.
Has the assurance that commercial support is available should it be required.
Provides ample documentation.
Is very scalable, simple and easy to use.
FreeRTOS offers a smaller and easier real time processing alternative for applications where eCOS, embedded Linux (or Real Time Linux) and
even uCLinux won't fit, are not appropriate, or are not available.
