The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a prominent technology in various industries, facilitating the interaction of heterogeneous devices in both personal and business settings.From industrial automation to remote telemedicine, the benefits of smart devices are numerous.However, as these devices become more integrated into information networks, a complex distributed architecture is required to support the integration of these devices and provide application services across industries.To address the middleware development challenge faced by developers of smart devices, it is essential to integrate software components into real-time operating systems (RTOS) to reduce integration time and expenses.Additionally, cloud-based infrastructure services are required to interact with smart devices, which need embedded RTOS to enhance productivity, efficiency, scalability, and real-time decision-making capabilities.This paper evaluates ten different RTOS for IoT based on their support for distributed computing services using heterogeneous devices, analyzing the peripherals and supporting tools provided by different vendors, open source or proprietary platforms.The study highlights the need for low-power smart devices that support RTOS and the importance of selecting the appropriate RTOS to secure smart devices and facilitate their integration into IoT networks.
