The ITRON[1] project was the first sub-project of the TRON project.[2] It has formulated and defined Industrial TRON (ITRON) specification for an embedded real-time OS (RTOS) kernel.
Originally undertaken in 1984, ITRON is a Japanese open standard for a real-time operating system initiated under the guidance of Ken Sakamura. This project aims to standardize the RTOS and related specifications for embedded systems, particularly small-scale embedded systems. The ITRON RTOS specification is targeted for consumer electronic devices, such as mobile phones and fax machines. Various vendors sell their own implementations of the RTOS.
