IAR Systems fully supports PX5 RTOS
IAR Systems is providing full support for the new PX5 real-time operating system (RTOS) launched yesterday.
The PX5 RTOS is fully supported in the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM so that developers can use an integrated development environment for building and debugging commercial safety-critical applications from source code to firmware.
The IAR Embedded Workbench is a complete development toolchain with a highly optimizing compiler and advanced debugging functions.
The 1Kbyte footprint of the PX5 RTOS automatically scales in size for the target application, allowing companies to reduce their BOM (Bill of Materials) by using smaller ARM-based devices or adding more differentiating features to their existing platform.
PX5 RTOS is deterministic regardless of system load, while IAR’s code analysis tools C-STAT and C-RUN aim for a reliably tested code basis for demonstrably the highest code quality. For safety-critical applications, IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM is available as a functional safety edition certified by TÜV SÜD and complies with the requirements of ISO 26262.
The PX5 RTOS features a native implementation of the industry standard POSIX pthreads API as well as best-of-class size and performance. As for safety and security, the PX5 RTOS provides Pointer/Data Verification (PDV) technology, which developers can leverage at run-time to verify function return addresses, function pointers, system objects, global data, and memory pools.
The PX5 RTOS also offers real-time extensions such as event flags, fast queues, tick timers, memory management, and more. Given the PX5 RTOS industry-standard POSIX pthreads API support, a wide range of software stacks are instantly enabled – both open source and commercial – for real-time embedded IoT platforms.

“We are striving for simplicity, and PX5 RTOS is purpose-built to deliver benefits across all IoT sectors including commercial and safety-critical applications,” said Bill Lamie, President of PX5.
“We are excited to partner with IAR Systems, a trusted leader over many years in embedded development tools. In fact, we fully leveraged the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM including compiler, debugger, code coverage, and their C-STAT static analysis tool to bring the PX5 RTOS to life. We firmly believe using the IAR Systems development tools has helped us deliver on the promise of the PX5 RTOS in record time.”
“We have worked with Bill Lamie and his team for close to two decades, and their expertise and innovative energy is unparalleled,” said Anders Holmberg, CTO of IAR Systems. “We are excited to support this new product offering from the very start. PX5 RTOS is highly reliable and deterministic and fits into some of the most memory-constrained devices. In conjunction with our tool suite, it allows developers to realize new applications within the shortest time while increasing the quality, safety, and security of their embedded devices.”
