About
Zephyr is an open-source real-time operating system (RTOS) hosted by the Linux Foundation, designed for building embedded and IoT devices. It supports over 1,000 hardware boards and provides a comprehensive set of APIs, drivers, and services for firmware development. The project is community-driven and emphasizes security, safety, and long-term support for production use.
Problem
Developers need a reliable, secure, and broadly compatible RTOS to build firmware for a wide variety of embedded hardware platforms.
For
Embedded developers and product manufacturers building connected IoT devices
How it works
Zephyr provides an open-source RTOS kernel with board support packages, device drivers, and a rich API that developers use to build and deploy firmware on supported hardware.
