Thanks Shadow. I have been doing a little dipping in the water with Arduino, which I see supported. I did some microcontroller programming 25 years ago, but have forgotten most of it. I will have to look into this further.

Still too large for microcontroller applications. Most microcontrollers don’t even need an operating system, due to the small amount of RAM and ROM available on the IC, like the Atmel AVR uC’s on Arduinos, the PIC uC’s from Microchip, down to all of the old 8031/8051 and 6805/6811 variants.

The compilers and IDE’s used native assembly for programs, and later C for PIC’s and Arduinos.

Are they trying to compete with Raspberry Pi?

QNX had a pretty nice embedded RTOS kernel called Neutrino, but I think they’ve been lost along the linux wayside.

“Key features of the Zephyr Project’s RTOS are said to include:
CPU architecture independent”

Then it should run on my PC? Bull pucky.

I am of the opinion that Minux3 would have been a better starting point.
