## What it is
AliOS Things is Alibaba's open-source, highly scalable IoT operating system built around the Rhino RTOS kernel, supporting ARM, C-Sky, MIPS, and RISC-V architectures. It provides a layered component architecture including BSP/HAL, networking stacks (LwIP, BLE, LoRaWAN), security (TLS, TEE), and Alibaba IoT integration components like LinkSDK and OTA.

## Use cases
- build firmware for IoT microcontroller devices
- connect embedded devices to Alibaba Cloud IoT platform
- develop lightweight Python or JavaScript apps on microcontrollers
- implement secure OTA updates for IoT hardware
- run an RTOS on RISC-V or ARM Cortex-M boards
- add BLE and Wi-Fi provisioning to embedded products

## When to choose
- targeting Alibaba Cloud IoT ecosystem or HaaS hardware
- need a component-based RTOS with built-in cloud connectivity and OTA
- developing for supported boards like HaaS100, HaaS200, or HaaS EDU K1
- want MicroPython/JavaScript lightweight app support on MCUs

## When to avoid
- need an actively evolving OS with frequent releases
- targeting cloud platforms other than Alibaba Cloud
- require broad community support compared to Zephyr or FreeRTOS
- working with hardware not in the supported board list

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
