NetBSD is located in open-source UNIX-based operating systems as a highly effective platform that works back in academic and research organizations. In recent years, research projects using this operating system are increasing, making significant contributions in different disciplines in technology and science world.

The main reasons for choosing NetBSD in the research field:

  • Open welding structure, allowing researchers to review and modify the source code, providing a transparent and reliable infrastructure
  • Providing wide support to various architectures (such as x86, ARM, MIPS), providing ease of use in heterogeneous laboratory environments
  • Creating a reliable environment in long-term experimental studies thanks to its high performance and stability characteristics
  • Provides advanced control and flexibility to developers on network and system programming
  • No legal barrier in commercial and academic use due to license structure

NetBSD, mainly used in system level research, network protocols development and embedded system design, has become an option that is considered in university and research institutes worldwide. Projects gallery shows how many areas of this operating system have been applied.

NetBSD ecosystem continues to be supported by a small but stable developer community and will continue to create the basis of the work subject to scientific publications.
