FreeRTOS
Real-time operating system for microcontrollers and small microprocessors

FreeRTOS is an open-source real-time operating system (RTOS) designed for microcontrollers and small microprocessors. It provides a lightweight kernel for embedded systems, enabling deterministic task scheduling and resource management. Backed by Amazon, it offers long-term support and a dedicated team for guidance and community resources.
FreeRTOS provides a small RTOS kernel that developers integrate into their microcontroller projects, enabling multi-tasking, scheduling, and resource management on resource-constrained hardware.
