RTOS v Linux.

This article compares the use of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux for embedded systems projects. FreeRTOS is a popular RTOS used on microcontrollers, offering deterministic behavior and a small footprint. Embedded Linux, on the other hand, is widely used and offers more flexibility and a larger pool of software options. The choice between the two depends on factors such as memory management, development effort, flexibility, debugging capabilities, and support. Ultimately, the decision should be based on the specific project's requirements, development capabilities, cost, power consumption, response time, time-critical tasks, support, and future expansion.
