Abstract

This paper is a comprehensive survey of the various operating systems available for the Internet of Things environment. At first the paper introduces the various aspects of the operating systems designed for the IoT environment where resource constraint poses a huge problem for the operation of the general OS designed for the various computing devices. The latter part of the paper describes the various OS available for the resource constraint IoT environment along with the various platforms each OS supports, the software development kits available for the development of applications in the respective OS along with the various protocols implemented in these OS for the purpose of communication and networking.
