Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions and answers

How do I get access to the codebase?

Access to our codebase is granted to approved contributors. Apply through our internship or careers page, and once accepted, you'll receive repository access.

What development tools do I need?

We recommend using VS Code or CLion with our custom extensions. You'll also need the appropriate toolchain for your target architecture (GCC ARM, RISC-V GCC, etc.).

Can I use EmbeddedOS for commercial projects?

Our open-source components are available under permissive licenses. Contact us for commercial licensing of proprietary modules and support.

How do I report bugs or request features?
