Example MISRA C, DO-178B - A ?, EUROCAE ED-12B, Medical FDA 510(k), IEC 61508 SIL3/SIL4

2) What are the software options available for FreeRTOS ? the number?
Example stack TCP/IP, bluetooth, OSEK, POSIX, µITRON 3.0 ?

3) What are application domain for FreeRTOS ? the list ?

I know you have sent me this email directly twice and I have not replied. 

I get a whole lot of this type of email, containing great lists of things people want to know if I provide or support.  This is actually a short list in comparison.  Many times its obviously a standard list that is sent to all RTOS vendors for whatever reason.

I used to reply politely that all the information was available on the WEB site.  However, just doing this takes up quite a bit of time.

This is a free open source project.  That is giving quite a bit to you already.  Unfortunately I don’t want to also spend my personal time doing your research for you too.  There are no paid salesmen with a vested interest in making sure you get the answers you want to hear.

Regards.

On the site, there is no answer to my questions (clearly)

All right for SafeTROS --> IEC61508
but for freeRTOS --> No answer clear, I suppose that it supports no standard
It’s exact ? YES or NO simply (it’s fast)

And for the domains of application (a fast response by cross, for example --> Space   X)
Automotive / transport
Space
Nulear
Telecommunication
Medical
Defense / Military
Consumer electronics

You have an order of idea on the number of software options available for FreeRTOS ? 10> or 50> or 100>
Yes I can list software components but I can make a mistake

thanks you for the responses

I think that is the answer you want then. If there was DO-178B or other certification I think it might mention it.

"And for the domains of application (a fast response by cross, for example --> Space X)
Automotive / transport
Space
Nulear
Telecommunication

Which are you interested in? This is just a list. You doing a market survey? Probably gets used in all those, expect Nuclear.

I write for my studies a comparative document on the real-time solutions.
I found an element of indisputable comparison.
–> The support for the systems owner is incomparable…

There are clear and precise answers…

No idea what this means.

There is simply a quality support (owner)

For the basic information…  Simply
