Overview

Description

The Zephyr Project is a Linux Foundation hosted Collaboration Project. It’s an open-source collaborative effort uniting developers and users in building a best-in-class small, scalable, real-time operating system (RTOS) optimized for resource-constrained devices, across multiple architectures. Renesas is a member of the Zephyr project with support for the RZ/T2M Starter Kit+ and expanding to the RA MCU and RZ MPU families.
