SystemView Project Files – K64F and TrueStudio Lite
The SystemView Starter Project files are an Atollic TrueSTUDIO project using the NXP Processor Expert Plug-in along with the K64F Freedom Board. The example code show FreeRTOS running three different LED tasks. The project is setup to use the Segger SystemView that allows a developer to peer into the behavior of the system using the SystemViewer utility.

RTOS Selection Matrix
Selecting the right RTOS for a project can be tricky business. Engineers often come to the table with predisposed opinions that can cloud their judgment and pull them in a direction that isn’t optimal. Use this template to evaluate your project RTOS needs in an UNBIASED manner.

Jacob engaged with BIOVIGIL in the earliest stages of product development to develop the first generation of BIOVIGIL’s hand hygiene awareness system. The operating system on which Jacob built the first generation BIOVIGIL badge has remained the foundation on which subsequent versions of the product have been built and has proven itself in over 13 million user interactions.  SEE MORE >>

Jacob was everything we could hope for in an embedded systems consultant.  His understanding of the entire design process from requirements gathering, system architecting, implementation to testing and production was of great value to us. I would recommend him and look forward to working with him on my next project. SEE MORE >>
