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.

RIOT follows a modular design paradigm where everything is supposed to
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
structures (e.g. bloom, color), crypto libraries (e.g. hashes, AES) ,
