Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Comp Sci Student Interested in Embedded
RIOT-OS is somewhat popular in academia, it tries to be very approachable but there are still plenty of low hanging fruits with all kinds of hardware and you can use it for software and thesis projects.

Open source embedded projects
Just one example: https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT

Is Mbed still relevant?
You could also take a look at RIOT-OS. http://riot-os.org
- Woke up today to my first ever pull request of one of my public repos! Wait... oh... oh god...

Looking for a GitHub repo which contains unit tests
RIOT-OS has a lot of unit tests for all the boards they support. And it's written in C. https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/tree/master/tests

What's the best book and microcontroller to learn embedded design?
Another option is using RIOT-OS. But that unfortunately doesn't support PWM for the Weact. It does support PWM for the Bluepill and Blackpill STM32f103 and the Nucleo-f446 After quick search. \ https://riot-os.org

What should I buy to begin learning embedded systems development?
If you want to use C, I would suggest trying out RIOT-OS. It's a modern embedded operating system, written in C and focussed on IOT. It works on a lot of different boards. https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT

Programming arduino in actual C
Alternatively, you can also write your code in an RTOS. They often have scripts that make flashing and debugging easy. One that I personally like, and also supports Arduino, is RIOT-OS.

what do people usually do to separate/abstract platform dependent codes/files
Here is the port - https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel/tree/main/portable/ThirdParty/GCC/Posix

TI CC2630: Having trouble deciding Contiki vs TI-RTOS
Freertos has support for generic cortex m3: https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel/tree/main/portable/GCC/ARM_CM3 It could very well work almost out of the box with your mcu.

Ted Ts'o: "As an OS engineer, I deeply despise these optimization tricks, since I personally I care about correctness and not corrupting user data far more than I care about execution speed"
the only OS written in iso c i found was RTOS and they have open bug reports due to strict aliasing in simple things like their linked list implementation, which they don't bother to fix because somehow that causes even more problems (?!): https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel/pull/54

Arduino or full featured RTOS?
You likely put the requirements of POSIX just to have an excuse. Fyi, FreeRTOS kernel, the only thing you need, is here: https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel/

Nutshell custom memory allocators for me
FreeRTOS comes with 5 quite simple reference implementations of the heap memory allocator. You can study how it works.

Using FreeRTOS and dual core RP2040
The main branch is single-core. You're looking for the SMP branch.

C programmers scare me
On non-POSIX systems, malloc & free are implemented differently. EG FreeRTOS has some very simple malloc (and optionally free) implementations, eg heap_2.c (has malloc & free, but doesn't consolidate blocks), or heap_4.c (more complex, tries to prevent fragmentation by consolidating blocks, still less optmized & simpler than the glibc malloc/free used by most Linux systems).
What are some alternatives?
