MIPS Embedded OS (MEOS) vs. TorizonCore vs. Ubuntu Core vs. Ubuntu MATE Comparison Chart

We collaborate with open-source and commercial partners to provide MIPS support for many of the popular Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and the new generation of IoT specific Operating Systems. In addition, we have developed the MIPS Embedded Operating System (MEOS) with Virtualization extensions that targets deeply embedded applications and the IoT space. MEOS is MIPS’ in-house real-time operating system (RTOS). Being in-house, it is always the first to support new cores and architecture features. Version 3.1 of MEOS includes a virtualization library to extend MEOS into a hypervisor for use on MIPS cores which implement the MIPS Virtualization module. Where possible we will assist in the development open-source real-time/IoT operating systems through the donation of engineering resource or the supply of development hardware and tools.

An Ubuntu SSO account is required to create the first user on an Ubuntu Core installation. We will walk you through the steps of flashing Ubuntu Core on a Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 or CM3. At the end of this process, you will have a board ready for production or testing snaps. An Ubuntu SSO account is required to create the first user on an Ubuntu Core installation. Your board is now ready to have snaps installed, it’s time to use the snap command to install your first snap. The Snap Store is where you can find the best Linux apps packaged as snaps to install on your Ubuntu device and get started with your secure IoT journey.
