PX5 announces functional safety certification of the PX5 RTOS
Summary
For developers of both safety-critical and non-safety-critical devices, the certified RTOS offers a stable, reliable foundation built to industry best practices to support improved product reliability, security, quality, and time to market. The PX5 RTOS 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 PX5 RTOS native pthreads implementation supports code portability and re-use, while offering a small memory footprint, full multithreading and hard real-time functionality. The PX5 RTOS includes full development tool support, source code and royalty-free licensing. “Functional safety is top of mind for developers of safety-critical devices, and also impacts security, since a device with functional safety vulnerabilities is also easier to compromise,” said William Lamie, CEO of PX5.
