• 1. supports modularity: you can use the native Zephyr RTOS, or you can customize your own solution.
  2. Improve the integrated communication protocol stack, including device-to-device connections. The Zephyr team has joined the networking capabilities. The low-power Bluetooth (BLE) implementation was written from the ground up, and the IP protocol stack in the open source Contiki RTOS was ported to support IPv6, including low-power 6LoWPAN. Thanks to Zephyr's comprehensive network protocol stack support, the IVY5661's dual-mode RF solution is being leveraged.
  3. Security: A Zephyr image can only be run as a single application, statically linked at compile time, and run in a single address space. Dynamically loaded modules are not supported, which greatly reduces malware attacks.
  4. Zephyr offers a wide range of services: multi-threaded services, interrupt services, synchronization between threads, data transfer services between threads, power management services, and more.
  5. Lightweight: The size of the Zephyr program of IVY5661 is less than 200kb. The memory usage is low.
  6. Real-time: The advantage of the real-time operating system compared to the traditional operating system is self-evident, and the application direction is also an area where the data transmission speed is relatively high, which cannot be applied by the traditional operating system.
  7. Community Support: Zephyr is an open source system sponsored by the Linux Foundation. Community support is perfect.

Zephyr Support

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.
