  "description": "SAFE RTOS® is a pre-certified real-time operating system (RTOS) designed for safety-critical embedded applications. It is based on the functional model of the FreeRTOS™ kernel but has been completely redesigned by safety experts, subjected to a full HAZOP, and developed under an IEC 61508-3 SIL 3 life cycle, making it suitable for the highest safety integrity levels for a software-only component. It provides essential features and checks for high-integrity systems, distinguishing it from the standard FreeRTOS™ kernel.",
