cw1997/ez-rtos

ez-rtos is a classic 'learning' project common in embedded systems education. With 74 stars and 15 forks, it shows some interest from students or hobbyists, but the zero velocity and 5-year age indicate it is essentially a dead repository. From a competitive standpoint, it has no moat; it implements standard RTOS patterns (like those found in FreeRTOS or uC/OS) in raw assembly for a specific, aging hardware target (STM32F103). While assembly-level implementations offer extreme control, they lack the portability and community support of C-based industry standards like FreeRTOS or Zephyr. Frontier labs (OpenAI/Google) have no interest in this space, but the project is effectively 'displaced' by the ubiquity of professional RTOS ecosystems that offer better drivers, middleware, and safety certifications. It serves better as a reference for understanding context switching than as a viable foundation for modern commercial products.
