Mbed end of life

Several of the more powerful and IoT Arduino platforms currently run on top of MBed.

I'm not sure exactly how this (which I think mainly ends the MBed online site and removes ARM as a contributor to the open source MBed software) will affect the Arduino platforms.

thanks for sharing

Yes, thanks for sharing, maybe freeRTOS will see more use. Would be interesting to hear what the Arduino team have to say.

I'm sure it gets forked. There's too much stuff already using it. Someone will carry it forward.

To be fair, I have no idea how much ARM contributes to Mbed now.
IIRC, it started out as an NXP thing, and ARM got involved to propagate the idea to multiple vendors. (It was essentially NXP's answer to Arduino, back when it was more a collection of libraries than an OS.)

Arduino Mbed Core uses mbed-os version from 2019.
