Embedded RTOS Development

As well as working with RTOSs, we’ve also ported them to new hardware, or extended them to support new features and device drivers. In one case, we added a USB stack to FreeRTOS to support some bespoke and standard intelligent devices classes.

We have many years of experience in securing video content and use this knowledge to harden operating systems. For example, we can enable hardware security features, such as ARM’s MPU, or use a hardware key store to protect the keys used in TLS mutual authentication and create a hardware root of trust.

We’ve developed embedded systems using many different RTOSs across a range of microcontrollers, microprocessors and DSPs. This experience gives us an unparalleled breadth of knowledge of embedded hardware and software environments – we can recommend the technology that works best for your requirements.

Embedded software development in such environments requires understanding of a range of time critical features such as prioritisation of interrupts, pre-emption and latency. Many factors contribute to the design of such systems as the real time operation is much more tightly coupled to the underlying hardware.

The choice of hardware, real time operating system, tool chain and application development environment all impact upon the requirements specification for the time critical nature of the solution.

Our extensive experience in hardware design makes us the perfect partner to develop your real time embedded software.
