Rich Components

Device virtual file system

Supports FAT, UFFS, NFSv3, ROMFS, RAMFS, etc.

Device management framework

Uses a unified interface to access the hardware peripherals.

Low power management framework

The system can go to sleep mode automatically, and supports dynamic voltage and frequency scaling.

Hardware encryption &decryption framework

Supports algorithms such as hash, symmetric, gcm, etc.

Protocol stack

Supports Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NB-IoT, 2G | 3G | 4G, Http, MQTT, and LwM2M, etc.

Remote upgrade FOTA

Safe and reliable, and which supports encryption, anti-tampering, breakpoint resume, intelligent restoration, backtracking and other mechanisms.

Dynamic modules

The dynamic modules and the kernel can be compiled separately, and at runtime, the compiled dynamic modules are loaded into the kernel to run.

Third-party components

Support Yaffs2, Sqlite, FreeModbus, Canopen, etc.

Great Portability & Software Ecology

Supports mainstream chip architecture

Such as ARM Cortex-M, MIPS, X86, Xtensa, C-Sky, RISC-V, ARC, etc.

Unified interface specification

Various MCUs and their peripheral interfaces are highly abstracted and the programming interfaces are unified.

POSIX interface

Easy to port Linux or Unix programs to RT-Thread. Support for File I/O, Signals, PThreads, IPC, etc.

Seamless application migration

Follows highly reusable software design principles, one-time programming, permanent use.

Multiple compiling tools

Such as Keil, IAR, GCC, Eclipse, Visual Studio and RT-Thread Studio development environment, etc.

Rich BSPs and porting templates

Lots of BSPs as well as porting templates that can be quickly ported to the target chip based on the porting template.

Tiny & Elegant

Small in Size

RT-Thread has a Nano version with a very small size and refined hard real-time kernel, which requires only 3KB of ROM and 1.2 KB of RAM.

Feature-rich

RT-Thread has rich features, such as, hard real-time scheduler, thread management, interthread synchronization and communication, clock management, interrupt management, memory management, etc.

RT-Thread Studio

RT-Thread studio is one-stop development tool, it has easy-to-use graphical configuration system and a wealth of software packages and components resources, which makes IoT development simple and efficient.

Community version is free forever.
Easy-to-use engineering creation wizard can quickly validate prototypes.
Brand new graphical configuration system, which supports both schema diagram and tree diagram configuration.
Software package market offers a variety of package resources.

Heads-up: RT-Thread × Renesas × LVGL are About to Drop a Cost-Effective HMI Board

When you hear “HMI screens,” you might think of Human Machine Interface or Touch Screen Display. They are known for their efficient GUI development and are widely used in fields like industrial automation and healthcare. But there’s a catch: the hardware cost of the HMI + main control board mode can be a bit steep, and the GUI development can be a bit basic and inflexible.
