RT-Smart Open Source Micro-kernel Operating System

There's a growing demand for embedded operating systems, and it's best when the one you build upon is open source. The RT-Thread project's R&D team has spent three years of research and intensive development to arrive at the project's latest offering: RT-Thread Smart. It is a microkernel operating system aimed primarily at midrange to high-end processors such as RISC-V or Arm Cortex-A that with a memory management unit (MMU) and provides a competitive and POSIX-based software platform for all industries in the embedded space.
Topics include:
- What is Micro-Kernel Operating System?
- What's RT-Smart and Who needs RT-Smart?
- Application Scenarios

What is the primary architectural choice Bernard Xiong highlights as defining RT-Thread Smart compared with a traditional monolithic RTOS?
A
It keeps all system services in kernel space to minimize context switches and maximize performance.
B
It separates kernel space and user space so system services run in user space, providing isolation and on-demand loading.
C
It removes the kernel entirely and runs all code as bare-metal tasks for deterministic timing.
D
It only supports single-core processors to simplify scheduling and guarantee real-time behavior.
E
It requires all applications to be statically linked into a single image to simplify deployment.
Hi Bernard... Thanks for the talk... I don't understand the difference between RT-Thread and RT-Thread Smart? ... And what is a good resource to start to use RT-Thread initially with microcontrollers ARM Cortex-M? Thanks
