Team,
Today is my last day as CEO of Apple. This is a moment I always knew would come one day, and yet it is still hard to believe it has arrived and I am writing these words.

‍Embox 0.7.2

1 сентября 2026 года вышла новая версия свободной операционной системы реального времени Embox.
Embox предназначена для встраиваемых систем. Главной идей является использование ПО для Linux без Linux. ОС является POSIX-совместимой и кроссплатформенной (ARM, MIPS, x86, RISC-V, Microblaze, SPARC, PowerPC, E2K), имеет аналог ./configure; make; make install, поддерживает C++. Есть поддержка ряда файловых систем: FAT, ext2/3/4, поддержка сетевого, графического и остальных системных стеков. Доступны популярные ЯП: Python, Lisp TCL, Ruby, Lua, JS, Scheme.
ОС написана на языке C, отличается гибкой конфигурируемостью на уровне исходных текстов имеет аналог описания аппаратуры device tree. Это делает создание конечных устройств на базе проекта очень простой задачей.
Embox распространяется на условиях двухпунктной лицензии BSD.
Embox включена в реестр российского ПО.
Отдельно обращаем внимание на добавление и улучшение поддержки подсистем для различной периферии (моторов, датчиков, CAN подсистемы, USB в режиме устройства), а также улучшение поддержки проекта Ardupilot и улучшение поддержки российских чипов. Данные работы позволяют создать открытую платформу для создания полетных контроллеров на российской элементной базе.
