Description

We work alongside both open-source communities and commercial entities to ensure that MIPS is well-supported across many leading Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) as well as emerging IoT-targeted Operating Systems. Furthermore, we have created the MIPS Embedded Operating System (MEOS), which incorporates Virtualization extensions specifically designed for deeply embedded applications and the IoT sector. As MIPS’ proprietary real-time operating system, MEOS is prioritized for updates, ensuring it is the first to incorporate new cores and architectural advancements. The latest release, version 3.1, introduces a virtualization library that transforms MEOS into a hypervisor compatible with MIPS cores featuring the MIPS Virtualization module. Additionally, we are committed to fostering the development of open-source real-time and IoT operating systems by providing engineering resources and supplying necessary development hardware and tools whenever feasible. This collaborative approach not only enhances the ecosystem but also accelerates innovation in the field.

Description

The advent of containers is set to transform the landscape of connected devices, with balenaOS standing out as the premier solution for their deployment. Designed to endure challenging networking scenarios and sudden power losses, it is a stripped-down version of Linux that includes only the essential services for running Docker efficiently on embedded hardware. Built on the foundation of Yocto Linux, it allows for seamless adaptation across a wide range of device types and CPU architectures. The project is actively maintained in a transparent manner, fostering a community that is encouraged to contribute. In our initiative to create balenaCloud—a platform that integrates modern software development tools with connected hardware—we began by adapting Docker for ARM processors in 2013. This experience highlighted the necessity for a dedicated operating system tailored to this specific use case: a lightweight OS perfectly suited for executing containers on embedded devices. Furthermore, this focus on optimization ensures that developers can maximize the potential of their connected solutions.
