Zephyr is an open source real-time operating system (RTOS) that is designed to be small, scalable, and secure. It is used to build products in a wide range of industries, from consumer electronics to industrial automation, and from medical devices to smart agriculture.
Launched in 2016 by the Linux Foundation, the Zephyr Project is supported by a vibrant community of contributors, maintainers and users. Today, more than 1,100 contributors have helped the project surpass 105,000 commits building advanced support for multiple architectures such as ARC, Arm, Intel, Nios, RISC-V, SPARC and Tensilica and more than 750 boards.
Thousands of wearables and other consumer products with constrained environments run on Zephyr. One of the reasons product makers like it is because of the automatically creation of SBOMs during builds that take it to the source file level for better diagnosis and detection of vulnerable states. The development process becomes easier, more efficient and improves maintainability in field. This makes Zephyr the perfect RTOS for consumer embedded devices.
