Contiki is an open source operating system for tiny low-power microcontrollers, providing standardized low-power wireless communication across hardware platforms. This is the historical official git repository; active development has moved to Contiki-NG.
Use cases
- build IoT applications on low-power microcontrollers
- run IPv6 networking on constrained embedded devices
- develop wireless sensor network firmware
- prototype networked embedded systems
- implement low-power wireless communication protocols
When to choose
- you need an OS for tiny low-power IoT hardware
- you want standardized low-power wireless networking in C
- you're maintaining legacy Contiki-based systems
When to avoid
- you're starting a new IoT project - use Contiki-NG instead
- you need an OS for powerful hardware like Linux-class devices
- you want a non-C development environment
