From the README
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.
The Zephyr OS is based on a small-footprint kernel designed for use on resource-constrained systems: from simple embedded environmental sensors and LED wearables to sophisticated smart watches and IoT wireless gateways.
The Zephyr kernel supports multiple architectures, including ARM (Cortex-A, Cortex-R, Cortex-M), Intel x86, ARC, Tensilica Xtensa, and RISC-V, SPARC, MIPS, and a large number of
supported boards_... below included in doc/introduction/introduction.rst
Welcome to Zephyr! See the
Introduction to Zephyr_ for a high-level overview, and the documentation'sGetting Started Guide_ to start developing.Community support is provided via mailing lists and Discord; see the Resources below for details.
