Using a mature process first certified by TÜV SÜD in 2007, SafeRTOS has been specially developed to ease the path to certification and offers a low risk approach to bring the benefits of off-the-shelf software to applications with safety implications or certification requirements.
The small footprint, efficient kernel uses less than 10k flash and a few hundred bytes of RAM and has certification packs tailored to IEC 61508 SIL3, FDA510(k) Class III and EN62304. Risks associated with using general purpose software and multiple support organisations are virtually eliminated with the kernel, certification and support capability delivered from a single organisation.
The head of marketing at High Integrity Systems, David Brook said, It is vitally important when using third party software in certifiable systems that customers know they will get software which is designed from start to finish with the objective of being deterministic, verifiable and capable of certification.
