Overview
The Zephyr Project is an open source collaboration hosted by the Linux Foundation focused on developing a best-in-class real-time operating system (RTOS) for resource-constrained and embedded devices. Founded in 2016, the project brings together a broad ecosystem of silicon vendors, OEMs, ODMs, and software developers to create a scalable, modular RTOS that supports a wide variety of hardware architectures and embedded use cases.
Zephyr’s core strength lies in its community-driven development model and technical breadth: the Zephyr OS delivers a highly configurable, lightweight kernel with integrated device support, networking stacks, and security-focused features, making it adaptable across embedded systems from simple sensors to sophisticated IoT gateways. Its permissive Apache 2.0 licensing and inclusive governance encourage broad industry participation, reducing costs and accelerating time to market for connected products while maintaining robust security practices and long-term support.
Serving industries including industrial automation, automotive, consumer electronics, and IoT, the Zephyr Project enables organizations to build efficient, connected applications that benefit from extensive hardware support, modularity, and a growing ecosystem of tools and libraries. By fostering open collaboration and continual evolution of the RTOS ecosystem, Zephyr helps partners deliver innovative, secure embedded solutions that meet diverse market needs.
