Amazon FreeRTOS Support

[martin]

i've seen examples in the nRF SDK using FreeRTOS and am very interested in integrating an (RT)OS for upcoming embedded projects since they very quickly outgrow the limits of "loop-based" execution.

with the new amazon FreeRTOS and cooperation partners (very interestingly also Wittenstein) i'd be interested to know if also nordic has any plans in joining this ecosystem / qualification program?

Hi,

This is quite early to say anything. But for now we are very careful in joining any new RTOS ecosystem. We already support Zephyr RTOS and FreeRTOS. We will closely monitor the market movements with Amazon FreeRTOS, but hard to commit at this stage.

Although Amazon FreeRTOS still.lack some basic features (OTA), it seems to go in the right direction. IoT market varies a lot, and having any kind of standartisation would help companies to develop and release faster. Think of a solution that requires 3 products and that each fits best with a different MCU. Wouldn't it be much simpler for the development team if they all share the same RTOS + network stacks? Currently, neither FreeRTOS nor Zephyr can offer that.
