i'm starting now with nios ii developmente board , stratix ii edition

in this case altera allow me to use uc/osii

also i'm studying uc/osii .in the kit ther is a labrosse' book about it .

i like this rtos but as i can read it's too expensive

i want to make my compliments to mr. labrosse , because he's very cleever

and performant man .i read his story in the book

but if i will finish to study this book , after what can i do?

my job is programmer plc and pc , and if i want to start to try something different , like embedded applications i will have too much problem , the first one is the price

mr. labrosse , i know the job it's hard and expensive , but one question :

why uc/os ii it's so expensive?

it's a pity , because if it was less expensive , may be many project programmer

wil buy it and use on own projects .

at the end , if you reduce the price you can sell more , and gain the same

Walter,

I understand your concern. What may be expensive to you is a bargain for others. If you consider that uC/OS-II is certifiable for both avionics and medical applications, the cost for a license is a real bargain. Of course, if you are not doing an avionics or medical application, this doesn&#39;t affect you but, what&#39;s important is this certifiability shows that uC/OS-II is a quality product.
