WITTENSTEIN High Integrity Systems has announced integrated Memory Protection Unit (MPU) support for Cortex-M3 microcontrollers in its OpenRTOS kernel.

The MPU protects applications from undetected programming errors as well as those caused by system failure.

The integrated MPU support is easy to use, protects the kernel from invalid task executions and prevents data corruption. Peripherals can also be protected from unintended modification by tasks. Furthermore, un-trusted code is isolated and the detection of task stack overflows is guaranteed.

Tasks run in either ‘Privileged’ or ‘User’ mode.  User mode tasks can access their … Read More → "OpenRTOS adds integrated memory protection support for Cortex-M3"
