Maintenance Plan

TuyaOpen OS Core (C/C++)

TuyaOpen follows a structured maintenance plan to ensure reliability and continuous improvement:

Active Development: Ongoing development with daily code commits.
Bug Fixes: Critical bugs are resolved within 24-48 hours. Submit issues and feedback via Github Issue.
Feature Updates: New features are released every two weeks.
Major Releases: Major versions with significant new features are released quarterly.

New Feature Requests？

Have suggestions for the project? You're welcome to join the discussion at https://github.com/tuya/TuyaOpen/discussions.

New Chip Hardware Support: We continuously evaluate and introduce support for new chips based on community needs, product roadmap, and technical feasibility.
New Peripheral & Driver Support: Our R&D team actively expands the diversity of devices and peripherals, regularly introducing new drivers. Community partners are also encouraged to participate in the ecosystem by contributing device drivers or capability components.
Third-Party Library (Libs) Support: We encourage community contributions of third-party libraries that comply with open-source licenses such as Apache License. All third-party libraries must meet open-source compliance requirements. Apache License is preferred; other licenses must ensure compatibility and be clearly declared to promote a thriving ecosystem.

Platform Support Plan

SDK Support Plan

SDK	Activity (Update Frequency)	Description
C/C++	Highly active - daily dev	Full support for mainstream embedded platforms and chips, continuous optimization and expansion
Arduino	Supported, slower updates	Supports Arduino IDE, compatible with Tuya T series and ESP boards, follows Tuya Cloud/AI SDK version upgrades
Lua	Supported, slower updates	Adapted for mainstream Lua platforms, suitable for various embedded scenarios
MicroPython	Planned, not started yet	Planned support for major MicroPython firmware and boards (e.g., ESP32, T5AI) for Python-based embedded and Tuya Cloud integration

Chip Platform Support

Our chip platform support is regularly updated and maintained:

Chip Platform	Support Status	Activity (Update Frequency)	Notes
MCU T5AI	✅ Active	Highly active	Ideal module for AI multimodal(audio & vision) interaction
MCU T2/T3	✅ Active	Actively maintained	AI text LLM + IoT use-cases, advantages in low-power scenarios
MCU BK7231N	✅ Active	Regular maintenance
MCU LN882H	✅ Active	Regular maintenance
MCU ESP32 Series	✅ Active	Regular maintenance
SoC ARM Cortex-A	🚧 Beta	In development, try on master branch	Mainly supports networking and Tuya IoT PaaS cloud connection and cloud AI capabilities. This platform's hardware architecture differs significantly from MCU series; users need to develop DTS device trees for peripheral integration.
SoC Raspberry Pi 5	🚧 Beta	In development	Mainly supports networking and Tuya IoT PaaS cloud connection and cloud AI capabilities. Hardware driver architecture differs from MCU series; users need to develop DTS device trees for peripherals. Given Raspberry Pi's rich peripheral ecosystem and predefined 40P expansion, refer to official hardware docs for device integration before connecting to cloud services.
