The Eclipse Foundation at Edge Computing World

Edge computing, a distributed computing architecture that brings compute power and storage physically closer to applications in order to improve performance and increase efficiency, is forecast to generate a market worth $16.5 billion within the next five years (Allied Market Research, 2019).

The Eclipse Foundation is the home of two innovative projects that have been built from the ground up to address the challenges of edge computing: Eclipse fog05 and Eclipse ioFog. fog05’s approach is to create a unified compute fabric that spans across things, edge nodes and the Cloud. ioFog, on the other hand, creates a distributed Edge Compute Network (ECN) where you can deploy and run microservices.

If you wish to learn more about ioFog, fog05 and the rest of the edge computing ecosystem, you should attend the Edge Computing World Conference, December 9-12 2019 at the Computing History Museum in Silicon Valley.  I will have the pleasure to host a developer workshop on various Eclipse Edge technologies at 11:30am local time on December 10. The Eclipse Foundation is proud to support this brand new conference. You can register here and save 10% by using the ECLIPSE10 registration code.

In addition to the workshop, the Eclipse Foundation will have a booth at the event. We are also working on a special announcement... Stay tuned!

Please help us build the open source edge computing ecosystem. See you at the conference!

Eclipse ThreadX: Charting our course for 2025

On November 21, 2023, Microsoft announced that it was contributing Azure RTOS to the Eclipse Foundation, which gave birth to the Eclipse ThreadX project . Since then, the project team and Eclipse Foundation staff have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to transition ThreadX to a true community-driven open source project and ensure its continued certification for safety-critical applications. In this short post, I will review the major milestones of that first year and share what to expect from the team in 2025. ThreadX v6.4.1 On February 28, 2024, the ThreadX project released version 6.4.1 of ThreadX and its companion modules. This release, the first made under the Eclipse Foundation development process, completed the transition of ThreadX to open source. From a technical standpoint, there were no changes from the prior 6.4.0 release. And yet, v6.4.1 represents a significant milestone. The Eclipse Foundation intends to certify ThreadX v6.4.1 for safety-critical applications. Yo...

2025 Embedded and IoT Developer Survey: 10th Time is the Charm

The 2025 edition of the Eclipse Embedded and IoT developer survey is now underway! Take the survey now – it only takes a few minutes. Your insights and opinions will help shape the future of Embedded and IoT systems. Let's make a difference together! Although our public archives only date back to 2019 , the Eclipse Foundation has been conducting this survey in one form or another since 2015. To my knowledge, it is the only one of its kind managed by an open source community. Your participation in this survey is not just a contribution, but a vital part of the open source community's growth. Moreover, all of our survey reports are made available under the CC BY 4.0 license , meaning that you can freely share and adapt them simply by giving appropriate credit. In other words, your participation in the survey benefits not just commercial interests, but the entire open source community. As usual, the survey will gather precious data on embedded microcontroller architectures, commu...

Eclipse ThreadX at Embedded World 2025 – Setting the Standard for Open Source Safety-Certified RTOSes

The embedded industry is at a pivotal moment: safety-critical systems are growing in complexity, and proprietary solutions are struggling to keep up with evolving regulatory requirements, and long-term sustainability concerns. Moreover, their cost impedes innovation in increasingly competitive markets that see margins under pressure at a time when organisations need to step up their technology investments. The Eclipse ThreadX RTOS is rewriting the rules — combining the power of open source with the rigorous safety certifications required for automotive, medical, industrial, and appliances. At Embedded World 2025, we will showcase how ThreadX is leading the way in redefining safety-certified embedded systems through open collaboration. Historically, companies developing safety-critical applications have faced a difficult choice — invest in costly proprietary RTOS solutions or attempt to navigate safety certification challenges alone. ThreadX eliminates this tradeoff. It is the first an...
