I'd love to see Contiki run on something like the beagle bone black.

Why? Linux covers that kind of hardware so much better already.

Because it would simply be nice to see something different once in a while. Don't get me wrong, I like Linux... I'm just a bit bored with it.

Agreed. I ended up settling on RTEMS, which isn't an RTOS, exactly, but it might as well be.

RTEMS certainly is a real time operating system. It was initially used in missiles and the original meaning is Real Time Executive for Missile Systems. Later adopted for generic military, scientific and space use.

I think it is a great open source RTOS. FreeRTOS and Contiki are good but not really comparable. Their focus is on smaller more memory constrained systems.
