System Software for Safety-Critical Embedded Applications.
SCIOPTA is more than just an RTOS. It is a new and modern approach to the design of embedded systems. The direct message passing method allows easy and time-saving design of robust and secure systems. Applications based on the SCIOPTA Method can cover small static SoC designs to large dynamic distributed systems.
The SCIOPTA architecture is specifically designed to provide excellent real-time performance and small size. Internal data structures, memory management, interprocess communication and time management are highly optimised. SCIOPTA is a pre-emptive real-time kernel. Interrupts can be serviced at any time, even inside the kernel.
SCIOPTA is a message based real-time operating system. A powerful set of system calls is available to control the resources. Standardized processes and interprocess communication result in clear system designs and are easy to write, to read and to maintain.
As processes are communicating with well defined messages and processes can be grouped into modules, SCIOPTA systems are very well suited for team work in big projects. The time-to-market will be reduced dramatically
