Mongoose OS documentation

Mongoose OS is a firmware development framework for microcontrollers.

Mongoose OS was created for developers who work on commercial connected products, and care about things like manageability, security, and reliability. 80-90% of the commercial firmware is around infrastructure, which is the same for many products regardless of what they do. Mongoose OS provides such a reliable, field-tested infrastructure.
