Middleware
HCC provides a rich portfolio of complementary middleware for embedded processors supported by each RTOS.
Embedded “Any RTOS” Software
All HCC middleware is independent of any RTOS. It is frequently used in conjunction with many free or commercial operating systems to provide specialist support for features such as fail-safety, NAND/NOR flash, advanced networking, and security.
RTOS Migration
All HCC middleware is based on HCC’s Advanced Embedded Framework (AEF) that abstracts the RTOS interface. This makes it a straightforward process to move your application from one RTOS to another – with minimal if any changes to your application.
Fully Integrated and Tested Projects Delivered
HCC supplies fully integrated and supported projects running on standard development boards or customer hardware. All software is delivered as a source code-based project with a demo application and supports most popular toolchains. This means the integration effort is taken care of and full technical support is provided. This dramatically reduces the time and risk of using and integrating the RTOS with complex peripherals.
You can start planning your RTOS project using HCC's project builder that allows you to specify a project in detail and ask HCC’s team to review it. You will get a free quotation for an RTOS-based project that will be delivered quickly with full technical support.
