Robust real-time operating system characterised by short response times and flexibility

Euros is a real-time operating system characterised by short response times, compactness, robustness, scalability and flexibility. The primery aim of system development was to create a uniform, hardware-independent operating system platform, which encapsulates the growing numbers of microcontrollers and peripherals, to make the software development as efficient and economical.

Euros decouples the user software from the hardware so that the application can be ported to state-of-the-art technology. It supports many microcontrollers such as XC16x, XC2200, IA16, M16C, 16FX, V850, HC12, FR50/60, M32R, SH-2A, TriCore, ColdFire, PowerPC, ARM, DualCore, XScale, IA32, NIOS II, MIPS, Blackfin, etc.

The system implements a device driver interface, which operates on a hardware abstraction level allowing for the highest possible device driver portability. A large number of drivers and middleware like CAN, Ethernet, IDE, SD/MMC, CANopen, Profibus, USB, Bluetooth, IrDA, Flash File System, TCP/IP, SMTP, SNMP, SSL, Powerlink, JVM, OPC UA, etc, are available for Euros.
