Embedded Technology Overview

I. TuyaOS Development Framework

1. System Architecture and Core Capabilities

TuyaOS is a self-developed embedded operating system written in pure C, spanning RTOS/Linux/Non-OS. It provides a five-layer architecture (Kernel/Abstraction Layer/Library/Service/Application), adapts to the full range of 8-bit to 64-bit chips, and delivers minimal resource footprint, ultra-low power consumption, ultra-fast networking, full protocol coverage, and high security.

  • Resource footprint: minimum ROM <80KB, minimum RAM <6KB — even runs on 8-bit MCUs
  • Sleep power consumption: 0.8–1.2μA; battery-powered devices can last 180+ days
  • Security mechanisms: tiered security (Levels 0–3), mbedTLS 3.1.0, firmware encryption, anti-tampering
  • Development modes: SoC zero-code, MCU low-code, TuyaOS fully customizable

2. Communication and Networking Capabilities

  • Bluetooth Long Range: 1km in open space, penetrates 3 indoor walls, 4× the standard range
