What is FreeRTOS?
Embedded devices are the soul of the Internet of Things. Any IoT network is inherently a medium to connect microcontroller-powered “things” via the internet. Microcontrollers at the heart of most IoT devices are simpler, resource-constrained, low-power chips that cannot run a standard operating system. Microcontrollers are often flashed with minimal firmware codes intended to execute…
