ASEBA

ASEBA is an event-based operating system which began as a part of a larger project which I can't seem to locate anymore. Something to do with the MOBOTS group, but I remember it was a larger consortium. (TODO: Find the larger group)

ASEBA's target is more advanced platforms than TinyOS, and ASEBA even attempts to make some Real-Time claims (TODO: what are those claims and are they achieved?). Since it's academic research birth, ASEBA has transition to an OS for a line of commercial educational robots, such as the Thymio II.

Contiki

Their website says: "The Open Source OS for the Internet of Things." Despite the IoT thing, this is a serious OS that has been around for a while now.

EMERALDS

A ยต-kernel designed for embedded systems (I think... it has been a long time).

FreeRTOS

A free (open source?) real-time operating system targeted at embedded systems. The main abstraction for communication seems to be queues.

LynxOS

A real-time OS which is POSIX compliant and Linux compatible. LynxOS was a target platform for some of JPL's fault injection work.

OSEK

An interface definition for embedded RTOSes targeting automotive applications. Several implementations, including the research OS dOSEK. Resources are allocated statically, as the workload is known and can not be changed dynamically.

RTEMS

(Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems) is a real-time, open source operating system. It has seen many applications, including the Wombat DARPA grand challenge entry.

TinyOS

TinyOS is a event-based (TODO: describe events? Own page?) operating system designed for applications such as sensor networks and smart homes.

VxWorks / VRTX Works

A proprietary OS designed for embedded systems. Used in several NASA projects (mentioned as a target OS for CLARAty and in the MOTES project (The Modular Telerobot Task Execution System for Space Telerobotics), also used on Curiosity (press release)).

Has an impressive list of projects which use it, ranging from automobiles to satellites to trains.
