FreeRTOS
Developed in partnership with the world’s leading chip companies over a 12 year period, FreeRTOS is the market leading real time operating system (or RTOS), and the de-facto standard solution for microcontrollers and small microprocessors.

SafeRTOS
SAFERTOS is a safety certified Real Time Operating System (RTOS) for embedded processors. It delivers superior performance and pre-certified dependability, whilst utilizing minimal resources.

emWin
emWin is designed to provide an efficient, processor- and LCD controller-independent graphical user interface (GUI) for any application that operates with a graphical LCD. It is compatible with single-task and multitask environments, with a proprietary operating system or with any commercial RTOS. emWin is shipped as “C” source code. It may be adapted to any size physical and virtual display with any LCD controller and CPU.

Crank Software
Crank™ Software Inc. is an innovator in embedded user interface (UI) solutions. Compared to traditional electronic design automation tools, Crank’s products and services enable R&D teams to more quickly develop rich graphical displays—also called UIs or HMIs—for resource-constrained embedded devices. Applications include in-car graphical displays, animated GPS systems, and rich user interfaces on factory floors. Crank Software bridges the gap between UI design and embedded systems to deliver competitive advantage because streamlining the development lifecycle enables their customers to get products to market faster, with higher ROI and lower TCO, while delivering a superior customer experience. Crank Storyboard™ Designer enables user interface (UI) designers to easily prototype the look and feel of a product, and then deploy a production-ready interface directly to the embedded target. Designers maintain full control over the UI and user experience (UX) without having to perform a hand off to an embedded systems engineer for implementation.
