Define "IoT operating system"
- archerda 10y ago
  Linux distro: e.g., Yocto, Wind River Linux, Snappy, Fedora

    Well, from that perspective anything can be perceived as IoT operating system. Arch Linux could too, or Gentoo, or Debian. Ubilinux for Edison is Debian-based. Wind River is (more or less) a paid version of Yocto, prepared for chain of trust and secure boot. Intel invested a lot in it and I would guess it will get more attention in time.

Particularly interested in understanding what's being asked for on "IoT Gateways" (router like devices with wired and wireless connections to sensors and devices along with backhaul capabilities of ethernet to cellular)

  None of those "IoT operating systems" you mentioned is capable to talk to sensors on their own. You have to develop your stuff on top.

I'm just trying to determine the most used linux distro....to clarify. My ideal response would be something that showed me all devices and their associated OS for example, by which I could then know which is preferred.
