Roku Releases Free Software for Tiny Computer Chips

Roku released free software called Roku LT OS on June 3, 2026, designed for inexpensive microchips (like those in remote controls). The software, available online for free, runs on chips costing a few dollars and is built for tasks needing split-second timing — cars, smart home devices, and factory equipment. Roku's move opens the door for inventors and engineers to build new gadgets using a familiar, proven platform.
