The friendly Operating System for IoT!
2012-12-29 21:42:26 +01:00
RIOT is a real-time multi-threading operating system that supports a range of
devices that are typically found in the Internet of Things (IoT):
2016-05-31 19:23:35 +02:00
8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers.
RIOT is based on the following design principles: energy-efficiency, real-time
capabilities, small memory footprint, modularity, and uniform API access,
independent of the underlying hardware (this API offers partial POSIX
compliance).
RIOT is developed by an international open source community which is
independent of specific vendors (e.g. similarly to the Linux community).
RIOT is licensed with LGPLv2.1, a copyleft license which fosters
indirect business models around the free open-source software platform
provided by RIOT, e.g. it is possible to link closed-source code with the
LGPL code.
## FEATURES
2012-12-29 21:42:26 +01:00
2016-06-13 12:03:03 +02:00
RIOT is based on a microkernel architecture, and provides features including,
but not limited to:
2012-12-29 21:42:26 +01:00
* a preemptive, tickless scheduler with priorities
2014-01-13 11:19:45 +01:00
* flexible memory management
2016-02-29 18:46:36 +01:00
* high resolution, long-term timers
* support for AVR, MSP430, ARM7, and ARM Cortex-M on over 50 boards
2016-06-13 12:03:03 +02:00
* the native port allows to run RIOT as-is on Linux, BSD, and MacOS. Multiple
instances of RIOT running on a single machine can also be interconnected via
a simple virtual Ethernet bridge
2012-12-29 21:42:26 +01:00
* IPv6
2016-02-29 18:46:36 +01:00
* 6LoWPAN (RFC4944, RFC6282, and RFC6775)
* UDP
2016-05-31 19:23:35 +02:00
* RPL (storing mode, P2P mode)
2016-02-29 18:46:36 +01:00
* CoAP
* CCN-Lite
2016-05-31 19:23:35 +02:00
## GETTING STARTED
2016-06-13 12:03:03 +02:00
* You want to start the RIOT? Just follow our [Getting started
documentation](https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/Introduction)
* The RIOT API itself can be built from the code using doxygen. The latest
version is uploaded daily to http://riot-os.org/api.
### USING THE NATIVE PORT WITH NETWORKING
2016-06-13 12:03:03 +02:00
If you compile RIOT for the native cpu and include the `netdev2_tap` module,
you can specify a network interface like this: `PORT=tap0 make term`
#### SETTING UP A TAP NETWORK
2016-06-13 12:03:03 +02:00
There is a shellscript in `RIOT/dist/tools/tapsetup` called `tapsetup` which
you can use to create a network of tap interfaces.
*USAGE*
To create a bridge and two (or count at your option) tap interfaces:
./dist/tools/tapsetup/tapsetup [-c [<count>]]
## CONTRIBUTE
