## Is RTIC an RTOS?
A common question is whether RTIC is an RTOS or not, and depending on your background the
answer may vary. From RTIC's developers point of view; RTIC is a hardware accelerated
RTOS that utilizes the NVIC in Cortex-M MCUs to perform scheduling, rather than the more
classical software kernel.
Another common view from the community is that RTIC is a concurrency framework as there
is no software kernel and that it relies on external HALs.
