Zephyr RTOS

The Zephyr Project is a scalable real-time operating system (RTOS) supporting multiple hardware architectures, optimized for resource constrained devices, and built with security in mind.

The Zephyr OS is based on a small-footprint kernel designed for use on resource-constrained systems: from simple embedded environmental sensors and LED wearables to sophisticated smart watches and IoT wireless gateways.

The Zephyr kernel supports multiple architectures, including ARM (Cortex-A, Cortex-R, Cortex-M), Intel x86, ARC, Nios II, Tensilica Xtensa, and RISC-V, SPARC, MIPS, and a large number of supported boards.

Zephyr integration in redpesk Factory

With our redpesk integration, we aim to simplify building a complete embedded system image.
In the redpesk factory, you can build, package and install a Zephyr application in your Image.

Here is some key information about this integration:

  • Support building both in-tree and out-of-tree applications
  • Can build firmware for any target supported by Zephyr
  • Support both LTS and periodic Zephyr releases
  • Will support new Zephyr releases
  • Uses up to date Zephyr tools (see Zephyr version).

For more information on how to build, package and install a Zephyr application using the redpesk factory please see the usage guide.
