RTOS choice
Evaluate FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX or bare-metal based on real constraints.
RTOS firmware development with FreeRTOS and Zephyr
RTOS firmware development and review when tasks, timing, memory and communication must be controlled. Support covers FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX and real-time architecture for embedded products.
How we can help
Task model
Priorities, queues, events and synchronization with measurable behavior.
Real-time debug
Trace, stack usage, race conditions, watchdogs and sporadic bug reproduction.
How we work
Context and goals
Review goals, constraints, existing code, systems and business priorities.
Architecture and plan
Define risks, architecture, measurable checkpoints and an execution plan.
Development and verification
Implement or debug in verifiable steps on real data, code or hardware.
Delivery and support
Deliver code, documentation and decisions the team can maintain and evolve.

Real-time means design, not just using an RTOS
An RTOS solves some problems and exposes others: priorities, mutexes, queues, stack, heap, interrupts, deadlocks and jitter must be designed together.
- Task architecture, state machines, queues, events and synchronization.
- Porting and development on FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX or vendor solutions.
- Timing, stack, heap, priority, race condition and deadlock analysis.
- Drivers, middleware, logging and tests on real targets.
When an RTOS review is useful
An external review is valuable when a prototype has become difficult to stabilize, timing failures are intermittent or the team needs to choose a platform before hardware and software constraints become expensive to change.
- Resets, watchdog events, missed deadlines or faults that are difficult to reproduce on the bench.
- Task priorities, memory ownership, interrupt behaviour or shared resources that are no longer easy to reason about.
- Migration from bare-metal, a vendor SDK or a legacy RTOS to a maintainable product architecture.
- A need to define traces, diagnostics and tests before a wider release or field deployment.
Maintainability
- Maintainability
- Modular structure, repeatable builds, documentation and tests.
Frequently asked questions
Is FreeRTOS or Zephyr better?
It depends on hardware, team skills, certification, networking, drivers, memory and expected product lifetime.
Can you stabilize an existing RTOS project?
Yes. Work usually starts from trace, stack, heap, priorities and points where behavior becomes non-deterministic.
Can you help migrate from bare-metal to an RTOS?
Yes. The work starts by identifying timing-critical paths, shared resources, interrupt boundaries and the simplest task model that fits the product.
