The '''ITRON''' project is the first of several sub-architectures of the [[TRON
Originally undertaken in 1984, ITRON is a Japanese [[open standard]] for a [[real-time operating system]] (RTOS) initiated under guidance of [[Ken Sakamura]]. This project aims to standardize the RTOS and related specifications for [[embedded system]]s, particularly small-scale embedded systems. The ITRON RTOS is targeted for consumer electronic devices, such as [[mobile phone]]s and [[fax machine]]s. Various vendors sell their own implementations of the RTOS. Wipro has largely contributed to its design and development.▼

==Details==
ITRON, and '''μITRON''' (sometimes also spelled uITRON or microITRON) are the name of RTOS specifications coming out of ITRON projects. 'μ' means that the particular specification is meant for the smaller 8-bit or 16-bit CPU targets. Specifications are available for free. Commercial implementations are available, and offered under many different licenses. On 10 November 2017, the [[Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers]] acquired ownership of the 16- and 32- bit uITRON from TRON Forum.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tron.org/blog/2017/12/ieee-standards-association-ieee-sa-and-tron-forum-sign-agreement-to-advance-iot-development-and-interoperability/|title=IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) and TRON Forum Sign Agreement to Advance IoT Development and Interoperability|website=www.tron.org|language=en-US|access-date=2019-10-02}}</ref>
A few sample sources exist, and there are many commercial source offerings, too.
Examples of open source
ITRON specification is meant for hard real-time embedded RTOS.
It is very popular in the embedded market, as there are many applications for it, i.e., devices with the OS embedded inside.
For example, there is an ACM Queue
Many Japanese digital cameras, for example, have use ITRON specification OS. Toyota automobile has used ITRON specification OS for engine control.
Supported CPUs are numerous. [[ARM architecture|ARM]], [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]], [[x86]],
ITRON specification promotion was done by the various companies which sell the commercial implementations. There was also an NPO TRON Association<ref>{{Cite
'''JTRON''' ('''Java TRON''') is a sub-project of ITRON to allow it to use the [[Java (software platform)|Java platform]].
