See the video for more information [1]. If you don't require POSIX compatibility, it's really the way to go. The kernel is very fast, and the HAL is much better compared to the typical vendor peripheral libraries. Definitely take a look at it if you've used FreeRTOS in the past. The community is excellent too with high SNR content [2], and the main developer is very responsive. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2KCB0a3xMg [2]: http://www.chibios.com/forum/index.php

To be clear, they switched from a 3 or 4 year old version of Nuttx (prior to interrupt optimatizations) to current ChibiOS.
