NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar. Understand more

Mongoose OS remains one of our preferred open-source microcontroller operating systems and embedded firmware development frameworks. It's worth noting that Mongoose OS fills a noticeable gap for embedded software developers: the gap between Arduino firmware suitable for prototyping and bare-metal microcontrollers' native SDKs. Our teams have successfully used Cesanta's new end-to-end device management platform, mDash, for small-scale greenfield hardware projects. Major Internet of Things (IoT) cloud platform providers today support the Mongoose OS development framework for their device management, connectivity, and over-the-air (OTA) firmware upgrades. Since we last reported on Mongoose OS, the number of supported boards and microcontrollers has grown to include STM, Texas Instruments and Espressif. We continue to enjoy its seamless support for OTA updates and its built-in security at the individual device level.

With an accelerated growth of connected embedded devices and wider accessibility of hardware, Mongoose OS fills a noticeable gap for embedded software developers: the gap between Arduino firmware suitable for prototyping and bare-metal microcontrollers' native SDKs. Mongoose OS is a microcontroller operating system that comes with a set of libraries and a development framework to support typical Internet of Things (IoT) applications with connectivity to generic MQTT servers and popular IoT cloud platforms such as Google Cloud IoT Core and AWS IoT by default. In fact, Google recommends a Mongoose starter kit for its Cloud IoT Core. We’ve had a seamless experience using Mongoose OS in our embedded projects building connected workspaces. We especially liked its built-in security at the individual device level and OTA firmware updates, among other features. At the time of writing, only a limited number of microcontrollers and boards are supported with more popular ARM-based microcontrollers still under development.
