Why RT-Thread Feels More Like an IoT RTOS Platform
If RT-Thread is judged only by tasks, semaphores, and queues, its main value is easy to miss.
RT-Thread is not only an RTOS kernel. Around Chinese MCU and IoT projects, it provides an engineering environment: BSPs, a device framework, FinSH, filesystems, networking, packages, configuration tools, Chinese documentation, and community support.
The first model is:
FreeRTOS: lightweight kernel entry point
RT-Thread: RTOS kernel + device framework + IoT component ecosystem
This is not a replacement story. The default system boundary is different.
