Micrium's µC/ Software Moves to Open-Source Licensing

jomoenginer

Perhaps a sign of the times, but Micrium, the makers of the uC/ RTOS will be moving their code base to an Open Source license model.

 

The uC/ OS has been a staple in many stable environments including the Mars Curiosity Rover Platform and now it will be available without a hefty license cost to all. It will be interesting to see how this either grows or kills the platform.

  • The original uC/OS book was the very first book I ever purchased from the Internet.. Before I'd heard of Amazon : )

    I still remember the diagrams in the book - lots of clarity.

    Anyway, the book showed that real-time OSs didn't need to be incredibly complicated, and inspired me to write my own OS in uni and then test it by trying to solve problems with and without it, and comparing the code to estimate complexity and time saved etc.

    I hadn't followed it since then though, and didn't realize it was purchased up by silabs.
