I have used it in a few shipped products. FreeRTOS is fine as a kernel, but a the interfaces for networking or devices always felt just smashed on top of it with no clean interfaces. This also made moving between hardware revisions much more difficult. NuttX forces abstraction layers which sometimes makes it a pain to do something simple, but in the long run prevents you from shooting yourself in the foot.
Also they are having their first conference this year.

- donquichotte 8y agoWould you mind sharing details (or rough descriptions) of the shipped products? Or a broad category, i.e. "pace makers" or "motor controllers"?
- akax 7y agoThere are many products in the market running NuttX: many Sony audio recorders and bluetooth headsets; all drones/quadricopters powered by PX4 are running NuttX because PX4 is based on NuttX; Xiaomi/Pinecone are using NuttX on their products and doing great contributions to NuttX mainline; Haltian ThingSee was the first commercial IoT device powered by NuttX; Daruma DR-800 was the first thermal printer powered by NuttX; many OptoFidelity products are powered by NuttX, so if you have a good NuttX skills you can apply for this job: https://rekrytointi.com/en/vacancies/optofidelity/embedded-software-engineer-tampere/562325/ https://rekrytointi.com/en/vacancies/optofidelity/embedded-s... Our community is growing, even without a big company like Amazon (FreeRTOS) or Intel (Zephyr) paying our bills. It's growing because because this is a great and powerful RTOS.
