The traditional embedded systems developer typically works at the bare metal level on disconnected devices, but the IoT requires systems to connect to the Internet. This requires embedded system developers to learn how to connect their devices and use a higher level operating system, such as a real-time operating system (RTOS). This article from Digi-Key Electronics will discuss and demonstrate how to get started with Amazon FreeRTOS.
Rather than starting from scratch and learning every nuance required to securely connect an embedded system to the Internet, developers can use Amazon FreeRTOS. This will allow them to quickly and easily connect their devices to Amazon Web Services (AWS) in a secure manner that simplifies their development efforts.
Amazon FreeRTOS is an RTOS that, at its core, is the open source FreeRTOS kernel with additional components added to enable local and cloud connectivity, security, and over-the-air (OTA) updates.
