Current Zephyr resources

Our goal is to deploy new versions of the Zephyr kernel as soon as possible.
Zephyr’s release management and Zephyr’s release documentation.

Our Zephyr integration in redpesk currently provides the following Zephyr resources:

Common

  • west tool - v1.2.0
    West meta tool is used to prepare, build and flash Zephyr firmware
  • Zephyr SDK - v0.16.5
    Zephyr SDK contains toolchains used to build Zephyr firmware for several target architectures
    • Available target architectures can be found on the sdk release page here.
    • To find out a toolchain package name, please refer to the distribution package list under projects->distributions, switch to x86_64 mode and search for toolchain.

Kernels

  • Zephyr kernel latest - v3.7.0
    This kernel will be regularly updated to new latest version
  • Zephyr kernel LTS2 - v2.7.6
    This kernel will be regularly updated to new LTS2 version
  • Zephyr kernel LTS3 - v3.7.0
    This kernel will be regularly updated to new LTS3 version

Important
Every available resource can be listed in your redpesk Factory under projects->distributions (note: for Zephyr distributions, please list resources for x86_64 arch, by selecting the arch in the top right dropdown menu)
