This was "Azure RTOS", bought by Microsoft in haste after Amazon acquired FreeRTOS.
Bill Lamie left to start PX5 and work on a new lightweight embedded RTOS and took most of the talent with him. If Microsoft is doing this, they're pretty much walking away from their roadmap for Azure RTOS and IoT nodes along those lines.
I call it a win, ThreadX had a lot more ecosystem behind it than FreeRTOS ever did. And it does run on things other than Raspberry Pis. Renesas used to give it away for free if you bought their SoCs.
