5 IoT Operating Systems To Use in 2023

IoT operating systems allow users to perform the basic functions of a computer within an internet-connected device. IoT operating systems are embedded within IoT devices and connect to a greater network of devices. These operating systems provide similar functionality to that of a computer by delivering processing capacity for memory and data storage purposes. These systems can run and process all software run on the device. IoT operating systems connect to IoT device management software.

1. Nucleus RTOS

The Nucleus RTOS is deployed in over 3 billion devices and provides a highly scalable micro-kernel based real-time operating system designed for scalability and reliability. System reliability can be improved using lightweight memory partitioning support that can function with or without MMU/MPU assisted protection in systems spanning the range of aerospace, industrial, and medical applications.

Developers can make full use of multi-core solutions across the spectrum of Microcontroller and Microprocessor SoCs using SMP and AMP configurations to integrate multiple operating systems. To meet the power requirements of todays advanced designs, engineers can ease development with integrated power management in Nucleus that includes support for DVFS, deep sleep modes, and power/clock gating.

2. Amazon FreeRTOS

Amazon FreeRTOS is an operating system for microcontrollers that makes small, low-power edge devices easy to program, deploy, secure, connect, and manage.

3. Tizen

Tizen is an open and flexible operating system built from the ground up to address the needs of all stakeholders of the mobile andæconnected device ecosystem, including device manufacturers, mobile operators, application developers and independent software vendors(ISVs).

4. Wind River VxWorks

VxWorks®, the industry’s leading real-time operating system, delivers all the performance, determinism, reliability, safety, and security capabilities you need to meet the highest standards for running the embedded computing systems of the most important critical infrastructure.
