Description:

FreeRTOS.org is a portable, open source, mini Real Time Kernel - a free to download and royalty free RTOS that can be used in commercial applications. The FreeRTOS.org site shows how a complete embedded real time system can be created using quality open source development tools (where available).

FreeRTOS.org currently gets approximately 5000 downloads per month - making it the standard solution for small to medium sized embedded systems.

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.

SafeRTOS is a version that has been certified for use in safety critical applications. It is a functionally similar product for which complete safety lifecyle 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.
