The IoT card, also known as an Internet of Things card, typically supports a variety of operating systems depending on the device it is used in. Commonly supported operating systems include:
Linux: Many IoT devices run on Linux-based operating systems due to their stability, flexibility, and open-source nature. Examples include Ubuntu Core, Debian for IoT, and RTLinux.
Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS): These are specialized operating systems designed for devices that require precise timing and responsiveness. Examples include FreeRTOS, VxWorks, and Zephyr.
Windows IoT: Microsoft offers Windows IoT Core for smaller devices and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise for more powerful IoT devices. These operating systems are designed for industrial and commercial applications.
Android: Some IoT devices, especially those with more complex user interfaces, may run on Android or a variant of it, such as Android Things (formerly Brillo).
For example, a smart home device might use FreeRTOS for its lightweight and efficient operation, while an industrial robot might use VxWorks for its real-time capabilities.
In the context of cloud services, Tencent Cloud provides IoT solutions that can support various operating systems through its IoT platform. This platform allows for the management and connectivity of IoT devices regardless of the underlying OS, enabling seamless integration and data processing.
