We do an annual market study, which you're likely familiar with. When I started working with the Embedded group about four years ago, one of the first conversations (complaints?) I had was with the Micrium folks, who explained to me why their company's OS, uC/OS, needed to be included in our annual survey.

After a brief look at the study, it was obvious they were right. In the list of "Which OS will you deploy on your current or next design?" uC/OS showed up pretty high in the chart, even though users had to write it into the "other" box. So we put it into the study, and it now consistently ranks in the top 10.

When I heard that a new version of the OS was being released, I contacted the Micrium folks and asked them if they'd like to do a webinar with us, to teach users how to work with this latest version, uC/OS-III, and they agreed. And to make it even more interesting, the development platform they'll use as an example is based on ARM's Cortex M3 microcontroller.

That webinar, "Learn how to run the uC/OS-III real-time kernel on an ARM Cortex M3" will be held on November 18 at 2:00 EST (although we archive our webinars so you can view it at a later time if that's more convenient).
