Building a smarter software strategy together
Benefits to software design with TI
TI's upstream-first approach and active contributions to open-source communities and industry standards help deliver compatible, reliable software while giving you access to the latest innovations.
Reliable software, built to last
Develop with confidence using TI's rigorously tested and validated software. With ongoing maintenance, regular updates and long-term support, you can reduce development risk and confidently deploy and maintain your applications throughout their lifecycle.
Easy-to-use development tools
Our suite of free, high-quality development tools with integrated AI agents helps you develop applications faster, for any skill level, with flexible options to develop on desktop or in the cloud.
Our global partner network of 250+ partners provides software expertise and resources, from operating systems to AUTOSAR stacks and safety solutions, to accelerate your development.
Operating systems
Accelerate software design with our open source, driver and middleware platforms and examples
With an open source and mainline software mindset, our developers help improve software quality that drives innovation.
We have supported open source software for over 20 years, and today we are actively involved in more than 60 open source projects including Linux Kernel, Yocto, U-Boot and Zephyr.
Choose your Linux distribution and start your embedded development
Our Linux offering is distributed through Yocto Project, Android™, BuildRoot, and Debian. We support a comprehensive software development kit as well as mainline Linux kernel, providing a robust software foundation for a comprehensive solution.
Trusted kernel with proven robustness, tiny footprint, and comprehensive device support
Many of our embedded devices support FreeRTOS, which is a real-time operating system (RTOS) for microcontrollers and small microprocessors, from single-core to multicore systems on a chip (SoCs).
Distributed freely under the MIT open source license, FreeRTOS includes a kernel and a growing set of libraries that can be used across all industry sectors. FreeRTOS is built with an emphasis on reliability and ease of use.
Access to a mature and established open source offering helps reduce software development efforts and accelerate time to market.
We also support ready-to-use RTOS-compatible drivers to accelerate development.
Accelerate your embedded development with TI's production-ready Zephyr® RTOS solutions. As a Platinum member of the Zephyr Foundation, TI actively contributes upstream to the open-source community while offering downstream software with early access to board features and pre-validated software to simplify development. TI's rigorous software quality processes, ongoing maintenance, and long-term lifecycle support help you confidently deploy and maintain your applications throughout their lifecycle.
ThreadX® real-time embedded systems for safe & connected applications.
ThreadX® is a real-time operating system (RTOS) that we are using for select industrial and safety platforms to help you achieve:
- Real-time performance: Fast context switching and low-latency interrupt handling for time-critical applications.
- Small footprint safe OS: compact memory size, for space constrained devices with safety requirements.
- Deterministic behavior: predictable and consistent execution times, for high reliability.
We work with a broad network of industry-leading commercial operating system companies to ensure that you have the right development options for your system to meet industry requirements including safety and security.
