In [[https://www.kaufmann-automotive.ch|Embedded Software Development]] for control units, a real-time operating system adapted for the vehicle manufacturer is usually used, such as Elektrobit tresos, which provides basic functions such as boot loader, [[https://www.autosar.org/|Autosar]] functionality and device drivers (EEPROM, [[CAN]], etc.).

In the non-automotive sector, [[https://www.freertos.org/|FreeRTOS]] is also very often used as an "operating system" for control units.
