RIOT is an open-source microcontroller operating system, designed to match
the requirements of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other embedded
devices. These requirements include a very low memory footprint (on the order
of a few kilobytes), high energy efficiency, real-time capabilities, support
for a wide range of low-power hardware, communication stacks for wireless and
communication stacks for wired networks.

be a module. All of these modules that are not part of the hardware abstraction
nor device drivers can be found in this directory. The libraries include data
