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.

Description

embOS stands as a priority-driven real-time operating system (RTOS) that serves as a robust foundation for embedding applications, with ongoing development since its inception in 1992. It supports all major processor architectures, compilers, and development environments, having found its way into billions of devices across diverse sectors. Engineers have consistently favored embOS in the embedded market due to its reliability and user-friendly nature. The system ensures 100% deterministic real-time performance for all types of embedded devices, making it a trusted choice. Highly portable and fully source-compatible across different platforms, embOS allows for straightforward application migration between various cores. Developers can create tasks with ease and facilitate secure communication among them through mechanisms such as semaphores, mailboxes, and events. Furthermore, embOS offers a free version for non-commercial applications, such as educational and evaluative purposes, which comes without any technical restrictions. This accessibility encourages experimentation and innovation in the field of embedded systems.
