Introducing the FireCracker!
Based on Analog Devices popular Blackfin embedded processor, Silica has developed the FireCracker Development and Reference Design Platform for audio and video applications. FireCracker is a unique concept of a hybrid between a development board and a reference design that enables design engineers to bring embedded computing solutions from concept to production in record time.

openOSEK
Q: What is openOSEK? A: openOSEK is an open source and cross-platform operating system framework, which aims for full conformance with the OSEK/VDX(TM) derived specification (ISO 17356). Q: Why OSEK? A: Clearly there are some excellent open source RTOS alternatives (FreeRTOS, eCos, Jaluna, etc). The problem with these operating systems, from an automotive perspective, is: Most of these alternatives are quite bulky and their real-time...

PICOS18 - Operating Systems for PIC Microcontrollers
This web site presents PICOS18, an operating system based on OSEK/VDX, an open industry standard. The OSEK standard is well suited for the low computing, power, small memory embedded controllers used in automotive or robotique applications. PICOS18 designed by Pragmatec Inc. is an operating system for the PICmicro microcontrollers from the Microchip PIC18xxx family. It is totaly free and is distributed under the GPL licence.

Trampoline RTOS
Trampoline is an open source RTOS which, once certified, could be compliant with the OSEK/VDX specification. Currently it is not the case, so while Trampoline has the same API as OSEK/VDX, it is not officially compliant. Trampoline is available under the GNU Lesser General Public License V2. (...)

OSEK
RTOS for automobile industry. OSEK has been founded as a joint project in the German automotive industry aiming at an industry standard for an open-ended architecture for distributed control units in vehicles. OSEK is an abbreviation for the German term "Offene Systeme und deren Schnittstellen für die Elektronik im Kraftfahrzeug" (English "Open Systems and the Corresponding Interfaces for Automotive Electronics").

overview    

RTOS State of the Art Analysis (OSEK)
The objective of this workpackage is to make a study of the state of the art of real-time technology which is made available by the research community, and to determine what types of mechanisms actually turn out to be most useful for real-time applications. In concrete, this workpackage will analyse the real-time operating systems (RTOS) features and extract the main characteristics that will be included in the OCERA development.

Programming in the OSEK/VDX Environment
Achieve efficiencies in programming your embedded communications and control systems by using the OSEK/VDX open standard. Developed by the automotive industry to increase productivity through the use of a standard architectural system and re-useable code, the OSEK/VDX specifications describe a small, real-time operating system (RTOS) ideal for most embedded systems that are statically defined.
