SynthOS generates operating system code for IoT devices, reducing development costs

One service available to help IoT device developers more easily create the real-time operating system (RTOS) necessary to run applications on a smart device is SynthOS. Developed by Zeidman Technologies of Cupertino, CA, SynthOS is an automated generator of RTOS code which uses patented algorithms which lets users input functionality at an abstract level. SynthOS enables a user to develop a customized RTOS which is compatible with ANSI C language standards. After a SynthOS user inputs generalized, abstracted functionality, the service can then automatically generate OS code, including mutexes, mailboxes and semaphores and any other mechanisms for communication or synchronization. Soon, Zeidman Technologies will be announcing an agreement reached with a major Silicon Valley semiconductor company regarding the SynthOS technology.
