To RTOS, or Not RTOS - That is the Question

Explore the debate between Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and bare metal approaches in embedded computing and IoT in this informative conference talk. Delve into the pros and cons of each method, examining popular open-source RTOS options like FreeRTOS and Zephyr, and their support for various hardware and features such as storage and networking. Discover alternative "bare metal" frameworks that enable applications to run directly on hardware, including Arduino, Espressif IDF, and the Rust-based Drogue IoT. Gain insights into the architecture and feature sets of different approaches to help determine the best fit for your project. Learn from Frédéric Desbiens of the Eclipse Foundation as he guides you through this critical decision-making process for embedded systems and IoT development.
