What EmbeddedOS Does
We build open-source embedded-system projects spanning secure boot, a real-time OS, communications, applications, developer tools, on-device AI, and longer-term artificial general intelligence (AGI) research. Each architecture stage below is labeled by its current maturity; no achieved AGI system is claimed.
The architecture below is an illustrative reference, not a claim that every stage is available as one production system.
Architecture by Maturity
Seven stages describe a possible path from sensing to physical feedback. Available projects, research, plans, and concepts are shown separately so the reference view does not imply uniform readiness.

What We Build
Project families that can be evaluated separately or composed for device prototypes across microcontroller and application-processor targets.
Real-time kernel with 33 HAL peripherals, 41 product profiles, SMP/AMP multicore. Secure bootloader with A/B slots, Ed25519 signing, and measured boot.
On-device AI, configurable neural-interface research, and longer-term AGI-enabling research. Model and acquisition limits depend on the named hardware configuration; no achieved AGI system is claimed.
Capability-secured inter-process communication with HMAC-SHA256 and zero-copy shared memory. Multi-model database with SQL, document, and key-value stores.
11-app office suite with real-time CRDT collaboration. 43 cross-platform apps in C+LVGL covering productivity, media, games, and connectivity.
Full IDE with board picker, HAL configurator, and AI tutor. Simulate firmware on 150 virtual platforms with QEMU, Renode, and HIL bridge.
18-command cross-compilation CLI targeting ARM, x86, and RISC-V. Visual node editor for sensor pipelines and automation logic without writing C.
Industry Use Cases
These reference scenarios show where projects may compose across device categories. They mix available work, research, and planned integrations rather than representing end-to-end shipped systems.
Healthcare & Wearables
HEALTH-KEY ULTRA and HEALTH-BAND Neuro are in-development reference designs. The proposed stack combines EoS, configuration-specific ENI acquisition, EAI research models, encrypted local data, and a planned companion app; clinical validation is pending.
Aerospace & UAV
AeroSwift Personal is a concept aircraft and software reference architecture. The design combines EoS, an ARINC-429 HAL target, eBoot, EIPC, and EoSim; it has not been flight-tested or certified.
Automotive & ADAS
eRadar360 Aegis One is a design-stage reference architecture combining radar, camera, and V2X inputs with experimental EAI detection, EIPC data paths, and an eBuild target for NXP S32K344. Performance, partitioning, and end-to-end integration remain validation targets.
Industrial & IIoT
EoS targets IEC 61131-3 PLCs and Modbus gateways. eDB stores time-series sensor data with AES-256 encryption. EIPC bridges OT and IT networks securely. eFlow provides a visual node editor for industrial automation logic without writing C.
Robotics & Cobots
This reference scenario explores EoS servo control, ENI sEMG input, on-device EAI models, and EoStudio-assisted configuration. Individual elements carry separate maturity labels and require system-specific validation.
Smart City & Infrastructure
EoS runs on smart meters, traffic controllers, and 5G gateways. eDB stores utility telemetry. EIPC routes data between city subsystems. eFlow visualises sensor pipelines. EoSim validates firmware for 150 virtual platforms before deployment.
Medical Devices
The medical research stack targets IEC 60601-1 design requirements. ENI channel count and sample rate are configuration-specific; BCI, neurofeedback, seizure-pattern classification, and regulated patient-data use all require separate validation and approval.
Energy & CleanTech
EoS runs on BMS controllers and solar inverters. eDB stores energy telemetry and grid state. EIPC routes data between battery packs and inverter controllers. EoSim validates firmware for energy hardware before deployment.
Hardware Design Portfolio
CAD and hardware references span health, aerospace, industrial, and other device concepts. Their availability and validation vary by design.
Open Source. Forever.
EmbeddedOS Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Foundation-authored projects are published under the MIT license, with public repositories and documentation. We believe open infrastructure for intelligent devices should be a public good that engineers, students, and researchers can inspect and build upon.
