riceG

RiceG is an open-source, firmware-oriented operating system developed by Revolution OS, a non-profit organization. It is designed specifically for microcontrollers, aiming to provide a modern and flexible alternative to traditional embedded systems platforms.

RiceG is built around a microkernel architecture, aiming to provide a high degree of orthogonality between devices and applications. This means that the operating system remains relatively simple, focusing on basic system services, while application-specific tasks are handled by specialized kernel modules.

One of the primary goals of RiceG is to promote device and application portability by providing a consistent interface across different hardware platforms. This is achieved through a combination of low-level device drivers, which abstract the complexities of various microcontrollers, and a set of APIs, which provide a uniform interface to device-agnostic kernel services.

RiceG's design also emphasizes modularity, allowing developers to easily add or replace kernel modules as needed. This modular approach makes it easier to test and validate new features, ensuring that changes have minimal impact on the overall system.

The RiceG project is relatively new, but it has already garnered attention in the open-source community for its potential to simplify embedded systems development. While still in its early stages, RiceG shows promise as a scalable and flexible alternative to traditional embedded systems platforms.

RiceG's development is community-driven, with contributions from a small but dedicated group of developers and collaborators. As the project evolves, it is likely to continue attracting developers, researchers, and enthusiasts, further expanding its scope and capabilities.
