SO3 Operating System is a compact, flexible and full featured operating system devoted to be deployed on ARM boards. The [github repository](https://github.com/smartobjectoriented/so3) gives access to full source code.

(and probably Risc-V in a near future) boards such as Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi, REDS Merida, etc.

Its small memory footprint and its Linux-based environment makes it very easy to deploy and debug.
