Abstract:
The Oniro project is an Eclipse Foundation project that aims at becoming the distributed OS for consumer and industrial IoT devices, big and small. Oniro is highly configurable and can support high end CPU based devices as well as small, MCU based sensors and actuators. Instead of writing a new kernel from scratch it relies on successful open source kernels like Linux, Zephyr, FreeRTOS, etc. Can RIOT OS become a foundation building block for the Oniro project? What would be the benefit and what could be the best technical setup to achieve the goal?
