Learn Zephyr® – the new Era of Real Time OS

Real-time programming applied to the Zephyr operating system

In 2022, Zephyr OS became the largest open-source RTOS project by the number of commits and developers.

Build secure, connected, future-proof devices with Zephyr®

Zephyr RTOS is easy to deploy, secure, connect and manage. It has a growing set of software libraries that can be used across various applications and industry sectors such as Industrial IoT, wearables, machine learning and more. Zephyr is built with an emphasis on broad chipset support, security, dependability, long term support releases and a growing opensource ecosystem.
