RTOS-From-Scratch/RTOS-From-Scratch

RTOS-From-Scratch is a classic pedagogical project, designed for learning how operating system kernels function at a low level. With only 37 stars and 12 forks accumulated over 9 years, it lacks any meaningful adoption or community momentum. In the professional and industrial RTOS landscape, it is dwarfed by giants like FreeRTOS (backed by AWS), Zephyr (Linux Foundation), and RT-Thread. These mature alternatives provide massive Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) support, security certifications, and extensive middleware libraries that a 'from-scratch' hobbyist project cannot replicate. The defensibility is near zero as the value lies in the author's personal learning journey rather than any technical innovation or network effect. While frontier AI labs have no interest in this niche, the project is effectively 'displaced' by existing industry standards which offer significantly more robust features for any production use case.
