Features & Specs

  1. Scalability

    Zephyr is designed to be scalable and can support applications from small embedded devices to larger systems with resource constraints.

  2. Modularity

    The kernel is highly modular, allowing developers to include only the components needed for their specific application, which helps in optimizing resource usage.

  3. Support for Multiple Architectures

    Zephyr supports a wide range of hardware architectures, including x86, ARM, RISC-V, and others, making it versatile for different hardware platforms.

  4. Real-time Capabilities

    Zephyr has built-in real-time operating system (RTOS) capabilities, which are crucial for time-sensitive applications and can meet stringent timing requirements.

  5. Security Features

    Zephyr includes multiple layers of security, such as memory protection, kernel object permission, and stack overflow protection, to help secure embedded applications.

  6. Community and Ecosystem

    Backed by the Linux Foundation, Zephyr has a strong community and ecosystem, which means robust support, extensive documentation, and continuous development.

  7. Open Source

    Zephyr's open-source nature enables transparency, community contributions, and the ability for organizations to customize the OS to their specific needs.

Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Zephyr and what they use it for.
  • A Web based Broadcast Assistant
    Combining the Zephyr RTOS stack, running on an affordable nRF52840 Dongle with the power of modern web technologies turned out quite well and it has also allowed us to experiment with multiple subgroups, supported by the specs, but not yet by many devices in the market (at the time of writing at least - be sure to keep an eye out for that!). - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
  • Auracast and multiple subgroups
    Also, it's really great to see that the RFcreations mini-moreph and blueSpy software was able to capture and render this slightly more advanced source and that it was possible to build using Zephyr RTOS and the nRF52840 Dongle. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
  • A simple Broadcast Audio Source
    The Zephyr RTOS contains some great Bluetooth LE Audio related samples. One of them is the Basic Audio Profile (BAP) Broadcast Source sample. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
  • Capturing the perfect (radio) wave
    I thought about what would be a good first capture, and remembered, I recently made a very simple Bluetooth Low Energy demo using Zephyr and Web, covered in an earlier post. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
  • It's 2023 why embedded development is so cumbersome?(rant)
    Check out Zephyr OS and Platform IO. Zephyr is part of the Linux foundation and has similarities to Linux with how it performs hardware abstraction (device tree). Platform IO integrates with other frameworks including mbed and Arduino. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Arduino and BLE on ESP32 as server and client combined, using NimBLE
    NimBLE comes from the Apache Mynewt real time operating system project. Mynewt is similar to other efforts like Zephyr. It continues to be maintained in 2023 and issues posed to the Github repository go answered. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • what's your experience with Zephyr Project?
    I'm looking at https://zephyrproject.org/ as an alternative to esp-idf for a new project, as it enables compatibility with other boards, plus a simulator for debugging. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Does the computing power of some of these "cheap" Bluetooth speakers freak anyone else out?
    That whole caboodle is available in an SoC now. Likewise, Zephyr is replacing Linux, thank God. Source: over 3 years ago
  • I you feel offended remember it's just an image on the internet
    Time to upgrade to something more minimal - https://zephyrproject.org/. Source: over 3 years ago
  • As an MCU beginner and hobbyist, what are the best learning guides for F446REx ?
    I like Zephyr RTOS because it works on other ARM chips, such as Nordic and NXP. Also runs on risc-v, x86, qemu, etc. Source: almost 4 years ago
  • Looking for embedded RTOS books with projects for practice to get a job in the industry
    It might be worth looking at Zephyr - https://zephyrproject.org/ - on the NRF52. It's more of a complete system / framework, rather than just an RTOS, but it has some good examples for the nrf52 ecosystem. Source: about 4 years ago
