Covers core RTOS features including real-time task management, memory optimization, communication protocol support, and modular scalability. Addresses implementation challenges such as resource constraints, synchronization (NTP/PTP), and security (secure boot, access control). Outlines best practices for task scheduling and protocol selection, and looks ahead to trends like edge AI integration and standardized interoperable infrastructure. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
