Microware's OS-9®

Thousands of customers and partners around the world are using Microware's OS-9 Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) in embedded designs. OS-9® serves as the fundamental control program that manages critical actions of microprocessors.

If your device requires a reliable, secure, and flexible real-time operating system, demand the inner strength that only OS-9® can provide. OS-9® is a system-secure, fault-tolerant RTOS with high availability and reliability. Users can dynamically add and replace modules while the system is up and running. OS-9's flexibility and upgradeability, along with its process model architecture and threads support, make it the superior choice for mission-critical applications.

OS-9® is more than just a simple kernel; the OS-9® operating system provides a flexible, robust run-time environment. OS-9's bundled middleware includes a multiprotocol networking stack and advanced multimedia packages.

Extensive input/output capabilities are made easy with OS-9. A unified, Unix-style I/O, networking and graphics environments, MPEG file manager and other standard I/O systems are available with OS-9®. Additional file managers are provided by third parties or can be written for a specific application.

Microware reduces users' development time by providing more finished code and an effective Hawk Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The HawkEye® visual analysis and graphical builder tools complement the IDE.

Microware's configuration wizard makes OS-9® easy to learn and use. Users can change or replace boot images in a matter of seconds.
