RT-Thread Smart, Embedded OS

I really want to look more into this entire branch of the tech industry. The advances to operating systems and such are happening in embedded as Linux sort-of settles into it’s place. RT-Thread Smart is one example of this. This mid-way between base runtime and full Linux kernel is really the embedded sweet spot.

By the way, nothing proves that Rust is a piece of shit more than seeing an OS like this (directly in the proclaimed target space for Rust) that just ignores Rust as the insignificant, irrelevant, alpha software that it is. Instead, RT leverages the musl libc library and honors the extremely stable POSIX interface calls to C. I really need to start taking pictures of embedded engineers who have been doing it for years when I even say the word “Rust”. Their reactions are classic.
