A tutorial book that supports application development using FreeRTOS on the Renesas RX600 family of microcontrollers will be unveiled at Embedded World. The concise, step by step guide takes a 'hands on' approach and describes both general multitasking concepts and FreeRTOS specifics.

WITTENSTEIN High Integrity Systems has announced SafeRTOS is available for the SIL3 compliant Texas Instruments TMS570LS microcontroller family for safety related applications.

OpenRTOS and FreeRTOS have just been released for the Cortus APS3, a 32-bit CPU for small footprint, low power applications. The Cortus APS3 is a general-purpose processor, which has been specifically designed to meet the needs of embedded systems. The 0.04mm2 of silicon (TSMC 65nm) features the lowest available dynamic power consumption (uW per MHz), as well as a high code density and high performance.

Richard Barry, founder of FreeRTOS, penned the books to simplify the design process when using OpenRTOS and FreeRTOS, with a special version targeted at NXP LPC17xx processors.

WITTENSTEIN High Integrity Systems has announced a SafeRTOS Design Assurance Pack which simplifies the mandatory validation process for new MCU based medical devices in the US and European Union. The Design Assurance Pack for the SafeRTOS kernel meets US FDA510(k) Class III and European IEC EN62304 medical device certification requirements, enabling designers to cut the cost, risk and time to market for safety critical technologies.

WITTENSTEIN High Integrity Systems has announced the immediate availability of SafeRTOS for ST-Micro's STM32 Cortex-M3 family of devices. SafeRTOS is a small, robust real-time operating system designed for critical applications and is supplied with an independently validated certification pack for Industrial and Medical devices.

WITTENSTEIN High Integrity Systems has announced integrated Memory Protection Unit (MPU) support for Cortex-M3 microcontrollers in its OpenRTOS kernel. The MPU protects applications from undetected programming errors as well as those caused by system failure.

WITTENSTEIN High Integrity Systems and InterNiche Technologies Inc. have extended the range of solutions available under their cross distribution agreement which gives their respective customers better access to a complete range of integrated products.

Wittenstein High Integrity Systems has extended the range of ARM Cortex-M3 based processors supported by its OpenRTOS embedded kernel to include Atmel SAM3, NXP LPC1700 and STM32 Connectivity Line chips. The OpenRTOS kernel is fully compatible with FreeRTOS™, meaning embedded designers can develop new embedded industrial, medical, power and consumer applications on the new generation of 32-bit microcontrollers without incurring licence fees. At...

Wittenstein High Integrity Systems has announced a completely free evaluation license for its OpenRTOS CONNECT software package. The licence gives access to High Integrity Systems’ suite of embedded middleware components that vastly simplify development cycles.

Wittenstein High Integrity Systems has launched a fully integrated version of its OpenRTOS kernel with ‘out of the box’ USB and FAT file system capability. The real time OS is designed to run efficiently on the new generation of small and medium 32-bit microcontrollers, with the initial release supporting the NXP LPC2xxx, ARM 7 and Freescale Coldfire V2 architectures. The product shortens development time for applications using USB or flash m...

WITTENSTEIN High Integrity Systems announces a new Eclipse-based, kernel-aware plug-in for FreeRTOSTM, the world’s most successful open-source kernel for embedded micro-controllers. Providing a professional debugging capability previously only seen on high-end tools, and available free of charge from WITTENSTEIN, ‘State Viewer’ also provides full debug support for the commercially supported OpenRTOSTM kernel.
