 RIOT provides features including, but not limited to:
 
-* a preemptive, tickless scheduler with priorities
-* flexible memory management
-* high resolution, long-term timers
-* MTD abstraction layer
-* File System integration
-* support 200+ boards based on AVR, MSP430, ESP8266, ESP32, RISC-V,
-  ARM7 and ARM Cortex-M
-* the native port allows to run RIOT as-is on Linux and BSD.
-  Multiple instances of RIOT running on a single machine can also be
-  interconnected via a simple virtual Ethernet bridge or via a simulated
-  IEEE 802.15.4 network (ZEP)
-* IPv6
-* 6LoWPAN (RFC4944, RFC6282, and RFC6775)
-* UDP
-* RPL (storing mode, P2P mode)
-* CoAP
-* OTA updates via SUIT
-* MQTT
-* USB (device mode)
-* Display / Touchscreen support
-* CCN-Lite
-* LoRaWAN
-* UWB
-* Bluetooth (BLE) via [NimBLE](https://github.com/apache/mynewt-nimble)
