Many Features and Libraries in Zephyr<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zephyr is an open-source real-time operating system that comes with many different features, libraries, and support of more than 750 embedded devices. The development of Zephyr as a real-time operating system is driven by a Community, and at Develco<\/a> we naturally contribute our important experience and observations from the use of Zephyr to this Community.

With Zephyr RTOS a large part of the integration to the hardware layer is already handled from the start of the development project<\/a>, which provides a solid foundation for the further development of embedded software. Zephyr supports a wide range of microcontrollers from different manufacturers, and the system makes it possible to build projects for multiple hardware platforms with the same code base. This means that previously developed code can be easily reused with only a few adjustments.

Perhaps you want digital product solutions with wireless communication<\/a> as a part of a complete Internet of Things IoT solution.<\/a> For your IoT solutions Zephyr provides our developers with support for various wireless technologies and integration with Cloud solutions such as Amazon Web Services AWS and Microsoft Azure.

With the many libraries and functions in Zephyr we can reduce the development time of embedded software in your development projects. At the same time, you can shorten Time to Market for introduction of your new electronics products. In addition, Zephyr is a secure real-time operating system, as the system continuously has releases of new versions and functions and not at least long-term releases with a guarantee of bug fixes and security updates 2 \u00bd years ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal Sparring on Development of Embedded Software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Zephyr, our development team works with the same interface instead of developing embedded software with different chips on different platforms from development project to development project. This means that our engineer team has the opportunity for internal sparring on the different projects with development of embedded software in Zephyr.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shorter Development Time with Artificial Intelligence AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zephyr excels in the use of Artificial Intelligence AI with GitHub Copilot, which has an in-depth knowledge of the source code in Zephyr. For that reason, we use GitHub Copilot as a digital assistant in the development of your new electronics products at Develco.

With GitHub Copilot we can save time and avoid human errors. For instance, GitHub Copilot reviews hundreds of files at a time and quickly writes simple code and tests. Upon completion of your development project, you will be handed over complete documentation for your development project. GitHub Copilot is a significant help in finding errors and proofreading of your documentation.

For you as customers, this means that with GitHub Copilot we can shorten the development time of your new electronics solutions, so that you can launch them faster on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Development of Secure Devices with Cybersecurity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Develco, we have deliberately chosen the real-time operating system Zephyr, which is already prepared to meet the legal requirements for Cybersecurity<\/a> and cover security gaps in development of your new product solutions with electronics \/ hardware and embedded software.

Zephyr Community has common standards and tools with guides and processes for Cybersecurity and compliance with the future legal requirement for Cyber \u200b\u200bResilience Act CRA, which comes into force on the 11th December 2027. In Zephyr, security is already built into the software as a part of the system – with transparency in security, training, and license. In Zephyr Community, we contribute together with all other developers to prepare standardized Cybersecurity policies and templates for reports of vulnerabilities to create clear guidelines for secure development and detection of security threats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201dFor Develco, it is important to develop secure devices with sensors and other electronic products with hardware and embedded software e.g. for data collection in your Internet of Things IoT solutions. Therefor we can offer remote updates with security patches, so that your devices continuously can be secure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our engineers regularly participate in the annual events about the real-time operating system Zephyr to constantly follow the development of this widespread RTOS prepared for the future.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our development team of hardware engineers and embedded software engineers co-operate in product development<\/a> of your new technology products with electronics \/ hardware<\/a> and embedded software<\/a>. In many development projects we develop embedded software for Zephyr \u2013 one of the most widely used Real-Time Operating System RTOS.
