Infineon Adds FreeRTOS Support for AURIX™ TC3x Microcontrollers, Streamlining Development for Automotive and Industrial Applications

(IN BRIEF) Infineon Technologies has added FreeRTOS support for its AURIX™ TC3x microcontrollers (MCUs), enabling developers to build applications more efficiently for automotive and industrial markets. FreeRTOS, an open-source Real-Time Operating System supported by AWS, simplifies hardware complexities and ensures reliable task execution, accelerating development and reducing time-to-market. The AURIX TC3x family, compliant with ASIL-D/SIL-3 standards, offers real-time capabilities, advanced safety features, and functional reliability. Developers can access the FreeRTOS kernel port and code samples on GitHub, with additional product details available on Infineon’s website.

(PRESS RELEASE) MUNICH, 22-Nov-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) has announced the integration of FreeRTOS support for its AURIX™ TC3x microcontrollers (MCUs), enabling developers to create robust applications with greater efficiency and flexibility. FreeRTOS, a widely used open-source Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), manages hardware and software resources on microcontrollers to ensure reliable and timely execution of tasks, abstracting hardware complexities to simplify development.

With over two decades of development, FreeRTOS is actively maintained by Amazon Web Services (AWS), which also provides middleware libraries for seamless integration with AWS services. This makes it a powerful tool for developers aiming to accelerate time-to-market and enhance portability across applications.

“The integration of FreeRTOS empowers developers to build applications faster using a proven, open-source RTOS environment,” said Patrick Will, Head of Software Product Management and Marketing for Automotive Microcontrollers at Infineon. “This collaboration is especially valuable for automotive and industrial markets, allowing rapid feature evaluation on the AURIX TC3x platform and a smooth migration path for non-AUTOSAR projects.”

The AURIX TC3x family is designed to meet the rigorous safety and performance standards of ASIL-D/SIL-3 compliance. Powered by Infineon’s high-performance TriCore™ architecture, it provides real-time capabilities, advanced safety features, and robust functional reliability, making it ideal for demanding automotive and industrial applications.

Resources and Availability

• The FreeRTOS kernel port for AURIX TC3x is available on GitHub.
• Code samples can be accessed at GitHub Demos.
• Additional details about the AURIX TC3x microcontrollers are available on Infineon’s official website.

With this integration, Infineon continues to enhance its portfolio, offering developers the tools they need to create innovative solutions for critical applications in automotive and industrial sectors.
