Postscript
The rise of IoT operating systems began around 2015, with representative products including Arm Mbed OS, Lite OS, RT-Thread and Microsoft Azure RTOS, all of which are based on RTOS technology. Over the past 10 years, there have been significant changes in the development of IoT operating systems, with some products exiting the market or transforming, such as Arm Mbed OS ceasing operations, Lite OS transforming into an important foundation of the open-source Harmony (OpenHarmony), and Microsoft Azure RTOS being donated to the Eclipse Foundation for maintenance, rebranded as Eclipse ThreadX. In contrast, traditional RTOS have continued to thrive, such as RT-Thread and FreeRTOS , which hold a high market share in both domestic and overseas IoT markets. New generation RTOS such as Zephyr RTOS and PX5 RTOS are finding their place in safety-critical IoT applications, gaining increased attention.
