xboot is a lightweight, modular embedded operating system designed for ARM-based microcontrollers and SoCs. It provides a complete runtime environment including a small kernel, device drivers, file systems, networking stack, GUI system, and scripting interface. xboot aims to be both educational and practical, offering a clear and portable codebase that can be adapted to various embedded platforms. Its minimal design and Lua scripting support make it suitable for quick prototyping and custom firmware development.

Features

  • Portable embedded OS with kernel, drivers, and runtime
