See Zephyr RTOS in Motion at Embedded World on March 14-16 in Nuremberg, Germany
SAN FRANCISCO, February 23, 2023 – As we speak, the Zephyr® Undertaking introduced that Blues Wi-fi, IRNAS, and Sternum have joined as Silver members simply because the real-time working system (RTOS) has hit widespread adoption in merchandise. Members akin to Google, Meta, Oticon and T-Cellular have merchandise powered by Zephyr RTOS.
“Adoption of Zephyr has elevated dramatically in the previous couple of years,” mentioned Kate Stewart, Vice President of Reliable Embedded Methods. “Along with Zephyr being utilized in quite a lot of industrial purposes, we’re discovering it in all types of rising markets like wearables, trackers, clever IoT units, animal monitoring methods, and extra. We hope being product prepared will assist these new members and the neighborhood with improvement, supply, and upkeep throughout all kinds of extra units and options.”
Merchandise which are powered by Zephyr embrace:
- Google Chromebooks: The embedded controller is an ultra-low-power microcontroller that’s at all times on. It’s crucial to the all-day battery life because it handles all of the issues a Chromebook has to do when the appliance processor is off or sleeping. Google not too long ago determined to maneuver the EC utility to Zephyr in order that distributors can write their drivers as soon as and seize design wins in product areas past Chromebooks. Zephyr’s gadget mannequin relies on the business requirements of devicetree and Kconfig. These applied sciences simplify the customization steps wanted for every Chromebook mannequin, lessening the engineering effort for Chromebook producers. Be taught extra right here.
- Oticon ExtraTM Listening to Aids: The revolutionary Oticon Extra is the world’s first listening to help that enables customers to listen to all related sounds because of an on-board Deep Neural Community. It’s powered by the Polaris chipset, integrating Zephyr RTOS for Bluetooth LE connectivity. This novel listening to instrument is a sophisticated medical product that may assist tens of millions of hearing-impaired individuals to a greater high quality of life. Be taught extra right here.
- T-Cellular’s DevEdge: The DevEdge is a self-serve developer platform that gives entry to the T-Cellular community to create linked wi-fi options. The IoT Developer Equipment, which runs on Zephyr RTOS, provides builders instant entry to T-Cellular’s community – no testing {hardware}, no prolonged construct time required.

At the same time as a brand new member, IRNAS has been utilizing Zephyr RTOS for the final 4 years as a part of their technique to work with one of the best applied sciences to construct industrial options for international purchasers, significantly specializing in Zephyr RTOS operating on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52 and nRF91 collection merchandise. Superior utilized options vary from crucial infrastructure monitoring units akin to RAM-1 developed for Izoelektro all the best way to livestock administration and monitoring merchandise engineered for Telespor. As a part of the IRNAS accountable environmental technique, in addition they shaped a partnership with Sensible Parks to design Open Collar animal trackers for nature conservation. These are mounted on wildlife animal collars for monitoring and their security.
“Zephyr has been at our core for a lot of years, and now we’re completely satisfied to take the subsequent step and assist the undertaking that enabled us to construct higher linked merchandise and be a part of the Zephyr neighborhood,” mentioned Luka Mustafa, CEO and Founding father of IRNAS. “Zephyr RTOS has already achieved vital adoption in business, enabling us to design purposes and worth add logic to merchandise operating on a number of architectures, designing merchandise that may proceed evolving over the a long time to return with out huge rewrites within the course of.”
Blues Wi-fi and Sternum additionally joined the undertaking as Silver members.
“At Blues, we’re proud to assist the Zephyr Undertaking and formally be part of the neighborhood,” mentioned Brandon Satrom, Vice President of Developer Expertise & Engineering at Blues. “Zephyr’s open supply, multi-architecture method is ideal for our clients as they scale, and are in search of a sturdy RTOS to pair with the gadget agnostic, safe, and easy mobile connectivity that Blues supplies. We sit up for introducing extra of our clients to Zephyr, and leveraging our experience to assist Zephyr builders add low-power mobile to their software belt.”
“Zephyr is already the platform of alternative for a few of our largest clients, permitting us a transparent view of the way it’s getting used to energy medical units, cost units, gateways, and industrial infrastructure,” says Natali Tshuva, CEO and Co-Founding father of Sternum. “We see rising demand from gadget producers for superior safety controls, post-market surveillance capabilities, and risk mitigation that transcend perpetual safety patching. Our built-in assist for Zephyr RTOS and toolchains permits us to handle these wants and provide a straightforward solution to deliver our patented know-how to all Zephyr-based units.”
Zephyr, an open supply undertaking on the Linux Basis that builds a secure, safe, and versatile RTOS for resource-constrained units, is straightforward to deploy, join and handle. It helps greater than 450 boards operating embedded microcontrollers from Arm and RISC-V to Tensilica, NIOS, ARC and x86 as single and multicore methods. It has a rising set of software program libraries that can be utilized throughout numerous purposes and business sectors akin to Industrial IoT, wearables, machine studying, and extra. Zephyr is constructed with an emphasis on broad chipset assist, safety, dependability, longterm assist releases, and a rising open supply ecosystem.
Zephyr Undertaking Platinum members embrace Antmicro, Baumer, Google, Intel, Meta, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP, Oticon, Qualcomm Innovation Middle, and T-Cellular. Silver members embrace AVSystem, BayLibre, Golioth, Infineon, Laird Connectivity, Linaro, Memfault, Parasoft, Percepio, SiFive, Silicon Labs, Synopsys, Texas Devices, and Wind River.
The place to see Zephyr
Zephyr will probably be on-site at Embedded World on March 14-16 in Nuremberg, Germany. The sales space, situated in Corridor 4 – Stand 170, will host dwell demonstrations from members akin to Antmicro, AVSystem, Blues Wi-fi, Golioth, IRNAS, Memfault, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP, Parasoft and Sternum. Cease by to speak to undertaking members and ambassadors about these demos and take a look at merchandise operating on Zephyr. Click on right here for a complete checklist of demos and merchandise featured at Embedded World.
Moreover, the Zephyr neighborhood will probably be on the Zephyr Developer Summit, which takes place on June 27-30 in Prague, Czech Republic, and nearly as a part of the first-ever Embedded Open Supply Summit (EOSS). The annual Zephyr Developer Summit, which launched in 2021, is for builders utilizing or contemplating Zephyr RTOS in embedded merchandise. This yr will deal with subjects of curiosity to customers, builders contributing upstreams and maintainers who need to study extra about technical particulars, merchandise that leverage the RTOS and the ecosystem.
