The last real-time operating system briefing for me had to have been more than a decade ago. I’m passing this along as an interesting take. RTOSX develops real-time operating systems (RTOS) and middleware. It bills its RTOSX Kernel as the “industrial grade alternative to Eclipse Thread X. RTOSX has achieved certification for functional safety.
In brief: Certification accelerates compliance with IEC 61508, IEC 62304, ISO 26262, and EN 50128 functional safety standards for automotive, industrial, and medical industries.
RTOSX, a global leader in high-performance real-time operating systems and middleware, today announced the off-the-shelf functional safety certification of RTOSX KERNEL — the industrial-grade alternative to Eclipse ThreadX. Developers using RTOSX KERNEL leverage the RTOS certification artifacts to save time and money during application certification for safety-certified devices in the automotive, industrial, and medical industries. The RTOSX KERNEL certifications were performed by SGS-TÜV Saar, the leading accredited, independent company for testing, auditing, verifying, and certifying embedded software for safety-related systems. The RTOSX KERNEL achieved functional safety certification to the highest levels of the IEC 61508, IEC 62304, ISO 26262, and EN 50128 functional safety standards, specifically IEC 61508 SIL 4, IEC 62304 Class C, ISO 26262 ASIL D, and EN 50128 SW-SIL 4.
RTOSX KERNEL is the industrial-grade alternative to Eclipse ThreadX. Derived from the latest Eclipse ThreadX release, it is completely refactored and infused with unique technology from PX5 RTOS, including Pointer/Data Verification (PDV) and central error handling. RTOSX KERNEL is 100% API and functionally compatible with standard ThreadX, fully preserving its small memory footprint, full multithreading, and hard real-time functionality. Existing ThreadX-based applications require no modification when moving to RTOSX KERNEL. The RTOSX KERNEL includes full development tool support, source code, and royalty-free licensing.
