Zephyr

Texas Instruments has announced the integration of the open-source Zephyr real-time operating system across its entire embedded processor and microcontroller portfolio. The move gives developers a unified, vendor-supported software platform across TI chips, reducing reliance on proprietary RTOSes. Engineers are discussing what the shift means for long-term support, portability, and the broader industry trend toward open-source embedded software.

The Zephyr Project, an open-source real-time operating system hosted by the Linux Foundation, announced that Texas Instruments and Infineon have both upgraded to Platinum membership. The move expands semiconductor vendor support for Zephyr and signals growing industry investment in the open-source embedded ecosystem, with the two chipmakers expected to deepen their contributions to the project's hardware support.
