	            	            I could not agree more with Michael - as usual;)

This is from the Micrium website:"Micrium's stringent development process, strict coding standards, code reviews, and clear, concise, and exhaustive documentation combined as the foundation for a Validation Suite™ for µC/OS-II. The RTOS is ideal for use in such safety critical systems as avionics RTCA DO-178B and EUROCAE ED-12B, as well as IEC61508, the standard for transportation and nuclear systems."

Just an example: For DO-178B the whole system is certified, so you need to redo the certification each time you put your device into a new system. At the moment there are some initial discussions with TUV in Germany not to redo the whole certification process all over again and again, but have some parts certified. Only the new things will need re-certification. (http://www.osadl.org/Safety-Critical-Linux.safety-critical-linux.0.html)

Micrium is able to provide a Validation Suite™ for µC/OS-II which simplifies the process of certifying the RTOS.

Regards,
Robert

	            	            Max,

There is no such thing as "certified by the FDA" or "certified by the FAA".  Likewise, the fact that any particular version of any off-the-shelf software, such as an uC/OS-II, has been "certified consistent with FDA or FAA standards" does not imply it will be safe in another product on another processor with another compiler, etc.

Cheers,
Mike	            ]]></description>
