FreeRTOS.orgTM is a portable, open source, royalty free, mini Real Time Kernel - a free to download and free to deploy RTOS that can be used in commercial applications. Ports exist for many different processor architectures and development tools. Each official port includes a pre-configured example application demonstrating the kernel features, expediting learning, and permitting 'out of the box' development. Free support is provided by an active user community. Commercial support along with a full development service is also provided. SafeRTOSTM is a SIL3 RTOS version that has been certified for use in safety critical applications. It is a functionally similar product for which complete IEC 61508 compliant development/safety lifecycle documentation is available (conformance certified by TÜV SÜD, including compiler verification evidence). While FreeRTOS.org does not contain the same safety features as SafeRTOS there is still commonality - allowing FreeRTOS.org to benefit directly from the very rigorous SafeRTOS testing and validation activities.

Thanks to everybody who stopped by to say hello at this years ESC West.
"The new book is great, it provides very helpful easy to understand examples of FreeRTOS concepts. I had previously developed an application using FreeRTOS, but at times felt I was just laying down code without a complete understanding of what was going on. The book is also an easy read free of unexplained arcane language and concepts... Excellent!!!" - Darrell F.
"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 FreeRTOS core performed well. Take FreeRTOS for a spin." - John Westmoreland |
