The growing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) systems in domains such as smart cities, industry 4.0, and embedded devices poses new challenges to software engineering. This study aims to characterize Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects related to IoT, focusing on Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and Development Tools (DT). We analyzed 25 GitHub repositories using quantitative metrics grouped into popularity, deliverability, and community attributes. Through K-Means clustering and correlation analysis, we identified four main project clusters and their distinctive traits. Results indicate that most FLOSS IoT systems projects rely on C/C++, suitable for resource-constrained environments. Strong positive correlations between Forks–Issues and Watchers–Stars suggest that more popular projects foster greater community engagement. RTOS projects show deeper collaboration, while DT projects exhibit broader popularity. These findings provide insights into the collaborative dynamics and sustainability of FLOSS IoT ecosystems.
