Following-up to my post about LuatOS yesterday, this is the underlying RTOS that LuatOS builds upon. The English language site is not as complete and all-encompassing as the Chinese site, but it’s more than enough to get a taste of the system and even put it to use.

One of the things that projects like LuatOS and RT-Thread highlight is that the days of China just consuming western technology are over. Homegrown software is rapidly spreading through the country’s engineering world (RT-Thread is in a bewildering variety of products now!) and even homegrown hardware, down to home-grown ISAs like the XuanTie XT804 cores, is starting to supplant imports.

The future is looking decidedly interesting.
