FreeRTOS makes it easier for programmers to develop complex real-time software that combines control and DSP threads. FreeRTOS also offers specific support for IoT applications that helps customers speed time-to-market. Tensilica processors and DSPs are suited for wearables and other IoT applications that combine wireless digital signal processing with control. By combining digital signal processing and control, designers can develop lower power, more efficient chips.
