Release v0.5.9.10 · embox/embox
Embox is a configurable RTOS designed for resource constrained and embedded systems. Embox main idea is using Linux software without Linux. (https://embox.github.io/ ) If you want use complex Linux Software and Linux is huge for your goals. Embox is the best idea, as I think. For example Embox is the only RTOS that allows to use OpenCV on Cortex-m MCUs https://www.embedded.com/benchmarking-opencv-on-stm32-mcus/

When do you know if your project needs to move on from bare-metal to using an RTOS? then from RTOS to using embedded Linux?
As for Linux, it allows easy and fast creating a device with reach features, but it requires more powerful and expensive hardware platforms, it has some questions with hard real-time, and it is less secure after all it is a general-purpose OS. We try to solve these cons of Linux in Embox. It combines prop RTOSes and Linux and allows run Linux software everywhere including MCUs

Integrating rustix on NuttX
Hi Rust experts, we are willing to integrate rustix on NuttX RTOS, the initial effort was done by rustix author: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix/tree/nuttx but it hit the wall since we don't know the right way to integrate cargo with the old-school NuttX's Makefiles. Any help or suggestion is welcome. More about NuttX here: https://nuttx.apache.org and here: https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/

Embedded Systems Weekly #116
Open Source Autopilot for Drone Developers PX4 is an advanced and open source autopilot flight stack for drones. PX4 can flight completely autonomously for pre-programmed missions, or, obviously, it can help a pilot who remote-controls the drone. It runs on NuttX RTOS.

How to contribute to open source or Linux kernel?
Microcontrollers are a good start. Boards are cheap and sensors are plentiful. You could get a yet unsupported board and port RIOT, Zephyr or NuttX.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing embox and nuttx you can also consider the following projects:
stm32-bootloader - Customizable Bootloader for STM32 microcontrollers. This example demonstrates how to perform in-application-programming of a firmware located on an external SD card with FAT32 file system.
zephyr - Primary Git Repository for the Zephyr Project. Zephyr is a new generation, scalable, optimized, secure RTOS for multiple hardware architectures.
FreeRTOS-Kernel - FreeRTOS kernel files only, submoduled into https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS and various other repos.
lvgl - Embedded graphics library to create beautiful UIs for any MCU, MPU and display type.
pjproject - PJSIP project
mbed-os - Arm Mbed OS is a platform operating system designed for the internet of things
libmodbus - A Modbus library for Linux, Mac OS, FreeBSD and Windows
