The Linux Foundation has announced
the Zephyr Project, which is aimed at building a real-time operating
system (RTOS) for the Internet of Things (IoT). "Modularity and
security are key considerations when building systems for embedded IoT
devices. The Zephyr Project prioritizes these features by providing the
freedom to use the RTOS as is or to tailor a solution. The project’s focus
on security includes plans for a dedicated security working group and a
delegated security maintainer. Broad communications and networking support
is also addressed and will initially include Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low
Energy and IEEE 802.15.4, with plans to expand communications and
networking support over time." The Zephyr
Kernel v1.0.0 Release Notes provide more details.
