It is often assumed that tiny IoT systems are too limited to run Linux, and a small operating system like Zephyr is a better choice. However, using a small OS means tradeoffs on functionality, and sometimes Linux would be a better fit. Some devices have enough resources that Linux is feasible if we can get the footprint down. This presentation will talk about the work we have been doing to do memory optimizations in Linux kernel and file systems and uses it to build an IoT device frameworks that run on a small platform with limited ram and XIP flash.
