Embedded Executive: ThreadX Is Now Open Source, Eclipse Foundation

A few years ago, Microsoft acquired Express Logic, who’s key product was the ThreadX operating system (https://threadx.io/) . Fast forward to today, and Microsoft has released that operating system to the open-source community. Why did they do that? And what does that mean to the development community? I was really curious about these issues, so I spoke to Frédéric Desbiens, who manages the embedded, IoT, and Edge computing programs at the Eclipse Foundation on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast (https://www.embedded-computing.com/embedded-executive) .
