Really excited to see a lightweight Rust-based operating system for IoT devices. I've been looking for a more secure alternative for my smart home setup.

@johnsmith I agree, I've been waiting for a solid option like this. Will it support different architectures or just ARM processors?

@johnsmith I'm curious, how secure do you think this operating system will be compared to other options currently available?

@smf I'm curious about this as well. In my experience, low-power consumption and performance are vital for IoT applications.

Could we get more information about the resource consumption? Particularly when compared to existing low-power operating systems.

@smf We've provided a comparison for various operating systems, including memory footprint and CPU usage, on our GitHub page. We believe you'll find this informative.

With an increasing number of IoT devices being open-source, do you plan to release the code for your operating system as well?
riot_os 7 months ago next
@opensource_fan Yes! We're committed to the open-source community and plan to release the code very soon. Stay tuned!

What about hardware compatibility? Do you plan to ensure this work with popular IoT boards like Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi and Arduino?
riot_os 7 months ago next
@hardware_guy Our intention is to offer compatibility with a wide range of IoT devices. We've already ensured compatibility with multiple Raspberry Pi variants, and Arduino compatibility is in the works. We'd love to hear about which devices you'd like to see supported, and we'll consider integration!

Great job, this is really impressive! Is there any plan to build a community around your project?
riot_os 7 months ago next
@i Absolutely! We'd like to invite everyone to our subreddit (r/riot_os) and Community Forum ([forum](link)<kei>). We're looking forward to working together with the community!

Does your operating system support Rust's new async/await features, which can be especially helpful for creating responsive IoT applications?
riot_os 7 months ago next
@rust_lover Yes, the async/await features in Rust are currently supported in our operating system. Furthermore, we plan to support additional features as they become available.
