The FreeRTOS kernel will be assessed, and certified for functional safety compliance under IEC 61508. With the safety-compliant kernel, FreeRTOS developers will be able to more easily build and test systems that require safety certification. The kernel, matched with an MCU, provides a foundation upon which applications, devices, and systems can be built following functional safety standards and certified by authorized vendors. IEC 61508 is a base functional safety standard used across industries, and upon which other standards are derived to meet the safety needs of industrial, automotive, robotics, medical, and other applications.
