Article note: Interesting.
It really looks like MS got ThreadX while me-tooing because Amazon got control of FreeRTOS, and most of the talent left for PX5 afterwards, so this is a "setting the me-too mistake free" situation, as many things dumped on the Eclipse foundation are. At least they're doing that, and under an MIT license so folks are likely to grab it and embed it in commercial projects until it's done atrophying away from lack of contributions back. ThreadX is quite widely used and seems to have a decent dev ecosystem, so it'll probably be good for some years.
...It also doesn't look like the VideoCore version that runs on Pis is actually in the published code, which is unfortunate.
