RIOT ? IoT OS

Original : https://www.riot-os.org/

RIOT powers the Internet of Things like Linux powers the Internet. RIOT is a free, open source operating system developed by a grassroots community gathering companies, academia, and hobbyists, distributed all around the world. RIOT supports most low-power IoT devices, microcontroller architectures (32-bit, 16-bit, 8-bit), and external devices. RIOT aims to implement all relevant open standards supporting an Internet of Things that is connected, secure, durable & privacy-friendly.

The friendly Operating System for IoT!

RIOT is a real-time multi-threading operating system that supports a range of devices that are typically found in the Internet of Things (IoT): 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers.

RIOT is based on the following design principles: energy-efficiency, real-time capabilities, small memory footprint, modularity, and uniform API access, independent of the underlying hardware (this API offers partial POSIX compliance).

RIOT is developed by an international open source community which is independent of specific vendors (e.g. similarly to the Linux community). RIOT is licensed with LGPLv2.1, a copyleft license which fosters indirect business models around the free open-source software platform provided by RIOT, e.g. it is possible to link closed-source code with the LGPL code.

RIOT is based on a microkernel architecture, and provides features including, but not limited to:

• a preemptive, tickless scheduler with priorities
• flexible memory management
• high resolution, long-term timers
• support 100+ boards based on AVR, MSP430, ESP8266, ESP32, MIPS, RISC-V, ARM7 and ARM Cortex-M
• the native port allows to run RIOT as-is on Linux, BSD, and MacOS. Multiple instances of RIOT running on a single machine can also be interconnected via a simple virtual Ethernet bridge
• IPv6
• 6LoWPAN (RFC4944, RFC6282, and RFC6775)
• UDP
• RPL (storing mode, P2P mode)
• CoAP
• CCN-Lite
• Sigfox
• LoRaWAN
