    RT-Thread is an open source IoT real-time operating system (RTOS).

  • It would be great to better understand how this compares to RTOS and FreeRtos.

    E.g., if one wanted to build a baremetal version of a small programming language, like minilisp or Forth, what would one like to use ?

    I would like to understand where the various implementations of rtos have been used in a production settings, is this one stable enough to use ?

    This rtos seems pretty small, but documentation seems mostly in Chinese, e.g.

    https://github.com/RT-Thread/rt-thread/tree/cca2f40ae05a6eff...

    Some code seems from older code bases:

    https://github.com/RT-Thread/rt-thread/blob/cca2f40ae05a6eff...

    (C) 2001-2004 Swedish Institute of Computer Science.

    It's hard for a person new to embedded RTOSes to judge the stability or capabilities of a project like this.

    Overall, its great to see projects like this sprouting up!
