International Standard Real-time OS μT-Kernel 3.0
UCT provides μT-Kernel 3.0 for various types of microprocessors.
- Fully compliant with international standard IEEE 2050-2018
- Real-time OS (RTOS) best suited for IoT edge nodes and embedded devices
- TRON Forum has released the specification and source code of μT-Kernel 3.0 to the public for free.
RTOSs are operating systems suitable for embedded devices and are also called embedded OSs.
µT-Kernel is an RTOS for small-scale embedded systems standardized by TRON Forum. µT-Kernel 3.0 is the latest TRON specification RTOS for IoT edge nodes.
UCT provides support services for embedded device development based on its accumulated experience in porting and supporting μT-Kernel.
μT-Kernel 3.0 solution provided by UCT
- Porting and support of μT-Kernel 3.0 to microprocessors and their boards
- Porting and support of network (lwIP) and file systems (FatFs)
- Development of device drivers (LAN drivers, sensors, etc.)

μT-Kernel 2.0
Best Cases to Use UCT μT-Kernel 2.0
UCT μT-Kernel 2.0 is suited for those who want to:
- use an RTOS
- improve software development efficiency
- develop by a group of developers
- use driver software that conforms to standard specifications
- make a transition to μT-Kernel from ITRON specification OS due to the change of target microprocessors
- use a pretested target environment and its network stack
Services for the RTOS
UCT has been collaborating with TRON Forum to implement reference codes based on the specifications defined by the Forum. We have numerous achievements in porting, customizing, and driver development of RTOSs. We also provide the following services for RTOSs.
Porting to various platforms
We port RTOSs to commercial evaluation boards or your company’s proprietary boards. Also, we develop drivers and applications on such boards and offer consultation on software development.
Migrating from µITRON specification OS to µT-Kernel
We have numerous proven achievements in migrating from µITRON specification OS to the latest µT-Kernel.
Porting T-Kernel 2.0 AeroSpace for AeroSpace fields
We port “T-Kernel 2.0 AeroSpace,” the RTOS for highly reliable embedded systems, to various types of CPUs for enterprises and universities in the aerospace fields. We provide “T-Kernel 2.0 AeroSpace” in the form of an evaluation kit.
µT-Kernel 2.0
µT-Kernel 2.0 is an RTOS, and its specification was defined by TRON Forum for IoT edge nodes. The RTOS has been adopted as the international standard specification of IEEE 2050-2018.
