📬 Introduction

Xila is a lightweight operating system designed for embedded devices, similar to Contiki or TinyOS. Its primary objective is to provide a standardized a simple API, enabling seamless integration of various software components into a single ecosystem. The portability of Xila is straightforward, requiring only the rewriting of the hardware abstraction layer.

Currently, Xila is in development, and the API is subject to change. Do not use for critical applications.
