Maybe you would have used QNX as an engineer flex in 2012, but as an embedded firmware dev myself, I'd laugh if someone suggested we use QNX for anything. Besides the licensing issues... just why? It confers no imaginable benefit versus any one of dozens of alternatives. It's like if someone suggested I run Haiku on my work laptop.
There's a few vendors that sell FreeRTOS forks that have that cert. SAFERTOS is a very common one
> mature tooling and ecosystem
Amazon has been working on freertos for a long time
> easy to hire experienced devs
tbh if you've used one rtos, you've used them all. the learning curve is in the concepts, not the api. any good vendor will have engineering support that helps you where appropriate
