## It is NOT an RTOS

## It is a Tool that Creates an RTOS (ASOS)
- One that requires no RTOS knowledge
- One that is optimized for your project
- One that is secure

## Synthesize RTOS

### Source Code

### Configuration File
- Time to Market
- Security
- Cost of goods sold
- Development costs
- Power consumption
- Portability
- Development and debugging
- Licensing

## Task Management

### RTOS Kernel

**Key:** Task management code, User code

### System Initialization Loop
- Task 1
- Library 2
- Library 1
- Library N
- ISR 1
- ISR 2
- ISR N
- ASOS System Management (SynthOS Generated)
  - Init Task 1
  - Loop Task 2
  - Loop Task N
  - Call Task 1
  - Init Task N
  - Init Task 2
  - Call Task N
  - Call Task 2

### Benefits
- Small learning curve
- 19-page users guide
- 5 primitives
- Push a button, get an optimized OS

### System Requirements
- Supports low cost microcontrollers and microprocessors that off-the-shelf RTOSes don’t support
- Requires smaller memory than an off-the-shelf RTOS
- Simpler system design

### Security Features
- Every synthesized system is custom
- Hackers can’t get a system to find vulnerabilities
- Vulnerabilities in one synthesized system are not found in other synthesized systems
- Can’t add malware after synthesis

### Compatibility
- Supports low power microcontrollers and microprocessors that off-the-shelf RTOSes don’t support
- Requires smaller memory than off-the-shelf RTOSes
- Works on any processor with a C compiler (i.e., any processor)
- Supports every new processor when it is available
- No need to develop new systems for new processors
- No need to find new RTOS to take advantage of new processors

### Development Tools
- Standard ANSI C output
- Use your current C development environment (IDE)
- Use your current C debugging tools
- Command line integrates with other tools

### License Information
- No license restrictions on synthesized code
- All synthesized code is completely yours

### Example Use Cases
