Starting today, enhanced support for Secure Elements in Amazon FreeRTOS is available. We have provided two qualifications that support secure elements. In the first, the Amazon FreeRTOS windows simulator implementation is connected to the Microchip ATECC608A secure element and the second is the Infineon XMC4800 IoT Connectivity Kit with OPTIGA Trust-X. Both reference integrations have been qualified using AWS IoT Device Tester for Amazon FreeRTOS. Additional changes in our 201910.00 release can be reviewed in our Changelog.

Amazon FreeRTOS is an IoT operating system for microcontrollers that extends the FreeRTOS kernel with software libraries for security, connectivity, and updateability to make small, low-powered edge devices easy to program, deploy, secure, connect, and manage.

You can get started by downloading source code via GitHub or the Amazon FreeRTOS console. You can test your ported Amazon FreeRTOS code using AWS IoT Device Tester. Refer to our new blog here, Amazon FreeRTOS User Guide, or the Amazon FreeRTOS website for more information.
