Tactility OS Brings App-Based Operating System to ESP32 Microcontrollers
Tactility is a revolutionary operating system designed specifically for ESP32 microcontrollers, featuring app switching without reflashing and SD card support. This community-driven platform brings modern OS concepts to embedded systems with FreeRTOS foundation and open source development.
Tactility OS represents a significant leap forward for ESP32 microcontroller development, bringing full app-based operating system capabilities to resource-constrained embedded devices. Developed by Dutch software engineer Ken Van Hoeylandt with support from companies like Elecrow and Lilygo, this community-built platform demonstrates that modern operating system concepts can thrive even within the memory and processing constraints of microcontrollers.
