  abstract: >
    As the Internet of Things (IoT) emerges, compact operating systems (OSs) are
    required on low-end devices to ease development and portability of IoT
    applications. RIOT is a prominent free and open source OS in this space. In
    this paper, we provide the first comprehensive overview of RIOT. We cover
    the key components of interest to potential developers and users: the
    kernel, hardware abstraction, and software modularity, both conceptually and
    in practice for various example configurations. We explain operational
    aspects like system boot-up, timers, power management, and the use of
    networking. Finally, the relevant APIs as exposed by the OS are discussed
    along with the larger ecosystem around RIOT, including development and open
    source community aspects.
