FreeRTOS teams with Infineon AURIX MCUs

Infineon has announced FreeRTOS support for its 32-bit AURIX TC3x family of automotive and industrial microcontrollers. As a key software layer, the RTOS manages both hardware and software resources, ensuring reliable and timely task execution. Acting as a bridge between the hardware and application software, it simplifies development by abstracting hardware complexities. This approach enhances portability and code reusability, streamlining the development process and reducing time-to-market.

FreeRTOS is a widely used, open-source real-time operating system actively supported and developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS also offers middleware libraries for FreeRTOS, enabling seamless integration with its cloud services.

“The availability of FreeRTOS enables customers to rapidly build applications on a well-established and feature-rich open-source environment,” said Patrick Will, head of Software Product Management and Marketing for Automotive Microcontrollers at Infineon. “This integration facilitates quick feature evaluation on the AURIX TC3x and provides our customers with an accelerated migration path for non-AUTOSAR projects, particularly in the automotive and industrial markets.”

TriCore AURIX TC3x MCUs offer ASIL-D/SIL-3 compliance and advanced safety features, as well as scalable feature sets and pinouts. The FreeRTOS kernel port for the AURIX TC3x is available here. Corresponding code samples can be found here.
