The missing platform
for Embedded Linux

Orbit OS turns embedded Linux devices into a programmable ecosystem. Expose hardware, networking, and system services as secure, unified APIs — locally and remotely — with built-in security, real-time control, and full application lifecycle management.

Every embedded project
reinvents the same infrastructure.

GPIO handling. Networking. Remote access. OTA updates. Application lifecycle. APIs.

Teams repeatedly rebuild the same platform layer instead of focusing on their product.

Orbit OS removes that burden.

It provides a complete runtime platform — from low-level device control to secure connectivity, centralized application management, controlled resource access, and seamless OTA updates for both system and applications.

Instead of stitching infrastructure together, teams focus on what actually matters: building the logic that differentiates their product.

One runtime. All hardware.

Access and control your device from any language, locally or remotely.

One API for all hardware

Device capabilities are exposed as unified APIs — locally or remotely. GPIO, PWM, I²C, SPI, UART, WiFi, Ethernet and Bluetooth behave consistently across all devices.

Security by default

Every connection is encrypted and authenticated. Orbit OS verifies every caller before granting access — no open ports, no implicit trust. Built for secure industrial deployments.

Isolated applications

Applications run in isolated environments and communicate through defined interfaces. Faulty apps are automatically restarted by the runtime to maintain system stability.

Atomic system updates

Safe, atomic updates with full or delta downloads, instant rollback, and zero-downtime upgrades. Update devices in the field without risk of bricking.

Multi-language SDK

Build applications in Go, Python, Java, or C++. Applications are packaged into a unified .orb format for consistent deployment across all Orbit OS devices.

Real-time development

Develop against real hardware without deploying first. Run applications from your laptop while interacting with device peripherals in real time using the same SDK and APIs.

Edge-ready runtime

Optimized for embedded and edge systems. Lightweight runtime services enable modern application patterns on resource-constrained devices.

Built like Android.
Designed for the edge.

Gravity RT is the core execution layer of Orbit OS. It orchestrates applications, hardware access, and system services within a unified runtime environment. Every interaction with the device passes through a controlled API layer with strict authentication and policy enforcement.

App Store

Deploy and manage applications across your devices from a central store. Every package is verified, signed, and delivered in the unified .orb format. The store also handles automatic updates and OTA system upgrades.

Secure distribution

Applications are installed from a centralized store with encrypted delivery and trusted execution on all devices.

Verified packages

Apps are packaged in .orb format and cryptographically verified before installation or update.

Atomic updates

Installations and updates are transactional — they either complete fully or roll back automatically to a safe state.

Fleet lifecycle management

The store manages full application and system lifecycle — including automatic updates, version control, and OTA system upgrades across your entire device fleet.

Talk to your device like an API

Connect from any machine. Control hardware. In any language.

// Connect — UDS on-device or TCP remotely, same API
device, _ := sdk.NewClientAuto(DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS)
defer device.Close()

// GPIO — set direction and drive a pin high
led := sdk.GpioPin{Number: 18, ChipNumber: 0}
device.GpioManager.SetDirection(led, true)   // OUTPUT
device.GpioManager.SetLevel(led, true)        // HIGH

// PWM — 1 kHz signal at 50% duty cycle
pwmPins, _ := device.GpioManager.ListPwmPins()
device.GpioManager.SetPwm(pwmPins[0], 0.5, 1000.0)

// UART — open ttyAMA0 at 115200 baud and send a command
device.UartManager.Open(sdk.UartConfig{Port: "/dev/ttyAMA0", Baudrate: 115200})
device.UartManager.Write("/dev/ttyAMA0", []byte("AT\r\n"))

// I²C — scan bus and read a sensor register
addrs, _ := device.I2CManager.ScanBus(1)
data, _  := device.I2CManager.WriteRead(1, addrs[0], []byte{0x00}, 2)
