- TickleSteve 2y ago"Operating Systems" for microcontrollers such as this are frequently just schedulers as the Application typically contains drivers and hits the hardware itself. e.g. FreeRTOS.

Some of the larger ones also define a driver model of sorts (which often just codifies the structure of the first driver for that type of peripheral e.g. USB, Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, GPIO).
