FreeRTOS for Smart Edge Nodes
With the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), design cycles continue to shorten, making it important to find solutions that require minimal engineering overhead, allowing for faster time to market. The open-source nature of FreeRTOS, an operating system well suited for microcontrollers (MCUs), enables low-power edge devices to be easily programmed, connected to, secured and managed. FreeRTOS provides a platform which includes a suite of connectivity and security libraries that help you develop smart edge nodes without operating system costs. These validated libraries reduce your design risk and design time allowing you to focus your development resources on creating differentiated applications. To serve this fast-paced market, we provide MCU-based hardware that supports FreeRTOS and includes a robust integrated development environment and toolchain to get your design connected to the cloud quickly.
