alt Hacker NewsI've had bad experiences with Zephyr in the past. It's been half-baked and passed around from company to company for ages.
Be Linux or don't be Linux, but don't be halfway between the two.
I have a lot more hope for PX5.

I actually disagree.
We have lower power bare metal systems, think AVR/STM stuff (in the 1Mhz to 50Mhz range with 128K or less of RAM) here FreeRTOS, no freeRTOS, custom driver code and some basic application code makes sense. For simple to very complex systems.
Then there's 1Ghz+ stuff with an MMU and 2GB+ RAM. Linux makes sense here.
Companies are now making chips 200Mhz+, 4MB RAM, with no MMU. This is precisely where Zephyr excels, you want a full networking stack? Switch that on. A file system, easy. Driver for some more complex thing? Maybe an SDIO radio? boomboom
