Microsoft said it has acquired Express Logic, a company that makes software for embedded devices. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
The move reflects Microsoft’s continuing focus on generating revenue around the so-called internet of things, which describes how a wide range of simple devices can gain functionality by connecting to the internet to share data, receive network updates and so on.
Express Logic says it has 6.2 billion deployments of its ThreadX operating system, reflecting the widespread nature of connected devices. The company also has Windows software people for monitoring device activity.
Microsoft has its own version of Windows 10 designed for connected devices, and last year it introduced the Azure Sphereoperating system and compatible cloud service.
“Our goal is to make Express Logic’s ThreadX RTOS available as an option for real time processing requirements on an Azure Sphere device and also enable ThreadX-powered devices to connect to Azure IoT Edge devices when the IoT solution calls for edge computing capabilities,” Sam George, director of Azure IoT at Microsoft, wrote in a blog post.
