👉 Bare IOR, or Basic Input/Output Runtime, is a lightweight and flexible runtime environment designed for building and running applications that require direct hardware access, such as device drivers, embedded systems software, and low-level system utilities. Unlike full-fledged operating systems, Bare IOR provides minimal system services, focusing solely on enabling efficient and secure input/output operations. This makes it ideal for scenarios where resource constraints are critical, and developers need fine-grained control over hardware without the overhead of a complete OS.
