Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) has added FreeRTOS support for its AURIX™ TC3x microcontrollers (MCUs). A Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is a key software component that runs on the microcontroller and efficiently manages hardware and software resources to ensure timely and reliable execution of tasks. By serving as an intermediary between hardware and application software, an RTOS enables developers to focus on their application code, abstracting away hardware complexities. This enables portability and reusability of application code across different levels of abstraction and reduces time-to-market.
FreeRTOS is a widely used free and open source RTOS that has been around for more than 20 years. It is currently actively supported and developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS has also provided a set of middleware libraries for FreeRTOS that allows easy integration with AWS services.
“The availability of FreeRTOS enables customers to rapidly build applications on a well-established and feature-rich open-source environment,” said Patrick Will, Head of Software Product Management and Marketing for Automotive Microcontrollers at Infineon. “This integration facilitates quick feature evaluation on the AURIX TC3x and provides our customers with an accelerated migration path for non-AUTOSAR projects, particularly in the automotive and industrial markets.”
The AURIX TC3x MCU from Infineon has been developed with an ASIL-D/SIL-3 compliant design, catering to the stringent requirements of both the Automotive and Industrial markets. Powered by the high-performance TriCore™ architecture, it offers real-time capabilities, advanced safety features, and functional reliability, making it an ideal choice for demanding applications.
