FreeRTOS is an available operating system option on the IOT-F407M “MitiPy™” and IOT-F407C “CutiPy™” make compact microcontroller Single-Board-Computers for Industrial IoT applications. as well as the newly designed SOM-1062M based on the NXP RT1060 MCU processor family. These boards run the FreeRTOS on bare-metal, giving you a low-level Real-Time operating system that can be used to add remote IoT control to industrial systems.

FreeRTOS is a market-leading real-time operating system RTOS for microcontrollers and small microprocessors. Distributed freely under the MIT open-source license, FreeRTOS includes a kernel and a growing set of IoT libraries suitable for use across all industry sectors. The FreeRTOS operating system is built with an emphasis on reliability and ease of use. Offering a predictable length of support for each release.

Operating system Features:

• Tiny Power saving Kernel
• Support for 40+ architectures of CPU and MCU
• Modular Libraries
• AWS IoT Reference Integrations
• MQTT configuration options
• HTTP and SNTP protocol libraries
• JSON Lightweight Parser
• Cellular, TCP, LoRaWAN and other network communication Protocols are available
• MIT Licensed, with options
