The LM3S9B96 is a Cortex M3 microcontroller from Texas Instruments that comes with a pre-built version of SafeRTOS embedded in ROM. Applications running on the LM3S9B96 can link to and use the ‘ROMed’ copy of SafeRTOS in commercial applications without paying any license fees. Its small size and simplicity makes SafeRTOS ideal for use in a wide range of embedded application areas, including those which require certification.

SafeRTOS has been independently certified to ease application certification especially in Industrial and Medical applications. Users can buy a separate Design Assurance Pack which contains all the certification evidence for IEC61508 SIL3 and FDA510(k).
The information provided in this section relates only to ROMed versions of SafeRTOS. There are other versions of SafeRTOS which are available as ‘C’ source code with certification evidence for a wide range of processors.
