To optimize system resource demand, reduced TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), improve system reliability and system design TTM (Time-to-Market); Axiomtek established the embedded OS service force in 1999. As a platform concept, ECP (Embedded Computing Platform) combines two elements: a hardware SBC body and an embedded OS soul which constitute the perfect match for many target applications.
Axiomtek's embedded OS solutions offer a wide range of Microsoft Windows® and Embedded Linux and QNX family-based products and services, which include:
- Windows® 10 IoT Enterprise/ Core Pro, Windows® Embedded Compact 7
- Windows® XP Embedded, Windows® Embedded Standard 2009/7/8
- Embedded Linux
- QNX Neutrino RTOS
- Software APIs and Utilities
With Axiomtek embedded OS solutions, the worry of dealing with various vendors, hardware suppliers, system integrators, and embedded OS distributors for tough projects, is cut to a minimum. Axiomtek is committed to helping customers; from the very beginning planning stages to successfully complete system delivery, and fast time to market. Axiomtek provides a wide range of embedded OS support. Click here to view the most updated embedded OS list.

IntervalZero RTX64/RTX
IntervalZero's RTX64 and RTX transform Windows into a real-time operating system (RTOS) and RTX64 can scale from 1 to 63 cores for dedicated real-time processing. For complex, connected embedded systems that seek to take advantage of Windows' world-class HMI and that also require determinism and hard-real time, RTX64 and RTX provide an RTOS that is tightly integrated with Windows. Where Windows provides timers with a maximum resolution – smallest granularity – of 1000 μs (1 millisecond), RTX64/RTX lower this to 1 μs were supported by the hardware. We provide Digital Input/Output (DIO) driver development service to facilitate the customer to integrate deterministic DIO control in their realtime applications like motion control/robotics.
Software APIs and Utilities
Axiomtek's software API utility and driver service provides system environment protection, increased system reliability and enables remote management control.
- uAPI: hardware monitor, DIO, WatchDog
- AXView 2.0: remote management control
- Specific utilities and driver: CANbus
