eCosCentric was founded in April 2002 by the eCos group within Red Hat, Inc. with the goal of furthering the technical and commercial development of eCos and RedBoot technologies. This remains the main focus today with eCosCentric now firmly positioned as the world's leading eCos RTOS specialist.

The company provides software development solutions for the embedded systems market. Taken together the products and services provide clients with a total solution for embedded systems software development with eCos.

The company is a stable and reliable partner with a global customer base consisting of OEMs, ODMs, board manufacturers and semiconductor companies. Our customers produce a wide range of eCos-based products for a diverse set of markets including industrial automation, consumer appliances, telematics, communications and networking, and digital imaging.
