SAFERTOS is an priority-based pre-emptive real-time operating system for use with 32 microcontrollers. SafeRTOS is one of a growing number of pre-certified embedded operating systems, having been initially certified by TUV SUD in 2007 to IEC 61508 SIL3.[1]
SafeRTOS has been developed by WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems, in partnership with Real Time Engineers Ltd, the company behind the popular[2] FreeRTOS project. Both SafeRTOS and FreeRTOS share the same Scheduling algorithm and have similar API’s but differing code bases.[3]
WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems is part of the WITTENSTEIN AG, a global technology company with its headquarters base in south west Germany.
Key features
Safety Features
- IEC 61508-3 SIL3 certified.
- IEC 62304 Class C compliant.[4]
- Full Design Assurance Pack
Technical Features
- Any number of tasks can be created - system RAM constraints are the limiting factor.
- Each task is assigned a priority - any number of priorities can be used.
- Any number of tasks can share the same priority.
- The highest priority task that is able to execute (i.e. that is not blocked or suspended) will be the task selected by the scheduler to execute.
- Supports time sliced round robin scheduling for tasks of equal priority.
- Queues can be used to send data between tasks, and to send data between tasks and interrupt service routines.
- Binary semaphores and counting semaphores make use of the queue primitive.
- Tasks can block for a fixed period.
- Tasks can block to wait for a specified time.
- Tasks can block with a specified timeout period to wait for events.
- FPU support.
- Definition and manipulation of MPU regions on a per task basis.
- Run time statistics.
