RT-Thread development, how to effectively learn the five steps of RT-Thread

After ten years of hard work, RT-Thread has one of the largest embedded open source communities in China, and is widely used in energy, automotive, medical, consumer electronics and other industries. Tens of thousands of units have become the open source RTOS developed by the Chinese people and the most mature and stable in the country.

At the same time, more and more developers are entering the ranks of RT-Thread development. However, in the community, we often encounter the problems mentioned by developers: How to effectively learn RT-Thread? RT-Thread founder Xiong Peixiang answered this question with knowledge and talked about the five steps of effectively learning RT-Thread (for details, see: RT-Thread Founder Xiong Peixiang: Four Steps to Effectively Learn RT-Thread ):

Please prepare the basics of C language

Find a development board to get started

Able to run the basic kernel + shell

Solved the problems of producers/consumers and philosophers

Understand the components of RT-Thread

So learning RT-Thread in addition to the C language foundation, it is very important to have a development board. The choice of the development board has always been a concern of developers. In the process of promoting RT-Thread popularization, RT-Thread has launched a series of hardware platforms such as ART_WiFi, RT-IoTCamera, RealBoard4088, and STM32 Internet Radio. Now RT-Thread launches RT-Thread Inside strategy open RT-Thread development platform authorization cooperation , and cooperate with 100,000 hardware for the first time to launch the first RT-Inside development board - iBox IoT development kit. The iBox IoT Development Kit project is maintained by 100,000 hardware teams and will provide RT-Thread migration and related examples for iBox.

The parameters of the iBox IoT Development Kit are as follows:

STM32 microcontroller, LQFP package

Support 12V DC005 power supply, PoE power supply;

The uplink port supports Wifi, GPRS, and Ethernet (compatible with NBIoT module); the downstream port supports Lora (SPI, UART) and 485.

Support 2 output control relay standard circuit, digital input detection circuit, ADC, DAC all the way.

As a common platform for the Internet of Things, the circuit board can realize both the Internet of Things gateway and the Internet of Things terminal.
