FreeRTOS
An open-source real-time operating system (RTOS) designed for microcontrollers and small embedded devices. It provides foundational capabilities such as task scheduling and memory management, and is widely used in firmware development for IoT devices.

Anthropic's proof pipeline is: compile open-source libraries with Faust tests into RISC-V executables, layer on the RISC-V and operating-system formal semantics of FreeRTOS plus the non-crash property, mechanically generate specifications, have Claude write proofs, and hand them to the Rocq kernel for checking.
In hardware synthesizers, firmware typically runs on top of a real-time operating system (RTOS), such as FreeRTOS or a vendor's in-house scheduling kernel.
Typical implementations of real-time control rely on real-time operating systems (such as FreeRTOS, Linux with the PREEMPT_RT patch), deterministic communication (such as EtherCAT, CAN bus), and periodic control loops (commonly 100Hz–1kHz).
Traditional ESP32 chips (such as the ESP32-S3) lack an MMU and can only run real-time operating systems such as FreeRTOS.
FreeRTOS and Zephyr are commonly used in the RTOS real-time operating system domain
