RT-Thread IoT OS

Last week, a hands-on workshop in Malaysia explored #RTThread, #LVGL, web-based LLM interaction, and #Xiaozhi AI using our #Infineon PSoC™ E84 MCU Edgi-Talk. Huge thanks to Leow for leading the workshop!

Ever thought about building your own USB monitoring display? In this project, we use an #NXP FRDM-MCXN947 board, #RTThread,#LVGL, and CherryUSB to build a display that shows real-time PC stats, including CPU and GPU usage, on a 240×320 screen. 🔗 Read the full article: rt-thread.medium.com/buildin…

No PC in the loop — one Titan Board RA8P1 drives a LeRobot SO101 arm and a Hand: Joy-Con control, on-board Ethos-U55 gesture recognition, and video streamed to a live web dashboard. 👉 rt-thread.medium.com/edge-cl… #Renesas #RTThread #Robotics

Learning Together, Growing Together – RT-Thread's University Partnerships RT-Thread is an open-source embedded real-time operating system, and we have always been deeply grateful for the trust and participation of the developer community. In our journey so far, we have been fortunate to receive strong support from China’s academic community. At present, we have had the privilege of working alongside nearly 200 universities across the country, exploring ways to integrate education with industry. These collaborations have taken shape in various forms—including curriculum design, joint laboratory projects, teacher development programs, certification initiatives, and career pathways for students—and we continue to learn from each partnership. Looking beyond our home market, we are equally humbled by the encouragement we have received from institutions in Southeast Asia. Since 2025, with the generous backing of local governments and academic bodies in Thailand, we have had the opportunity to cooperate with several respected universities. We were honored to co-organize workshops with institutions such as Thammasat University, Mahidol University, King Mongkut’s University of Technology, Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi, and the Royal Society of Thailand. These experiences have not only broadened our perspective but also reinforced our belief that open-source growth is a shared journey, driven by mutual learning and community goodwill. On August 1, our team had the pleasure of visiting Malaysia and signing a cooperation agreement with Wawasan Open University (WOU). We were also fortunate to meet with Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN), Xiamen University Malaysia (XMUM), and UCSI University. In our discussions, we explored possible collaboration on RT-Thread-based curriculum development, application projects, and joint lab setups. We are grateful for the interest and openness shown by these institutions, and we look forward to learning and growing together through future partnerships. This visit has been a meaningful step in our ongoing efforts to connect with universities around the world. We truly believe that the future of any ecosystem lies in the energy and ideas of young developers, and we are honored to have the chance to engage with academic communities in Malaysia. Beyond the agreements we signed, we see this as a small but sincere commitment to supporting local education and technology in whatever way we can. We are also in discussion with a few more universities, and we hope to share more news before long.We believe an ecosystem thrives because of the passion and curiosity of each individual developer. If your university is interested in exploring collaboration with us, we would be happy to hear from you. We look forward to learning alongside more partners and contributing, together, to open-source embedded education.
