Ambiq expands Zephyr RTOS support for SoCs/MCUs
Ambiq® has expanded its support for the open-sourced Zephyr Project® Real-Time Operating System (RTOS).
The Zephyr RTOS is now available on the Apollo3 Family SoCs, Apollo4 Plus, Apollo4 Blue Plus, and the upcoming Apollo510 MCU, for high-performing AI at the edge.
Manufacturers running Zephyr on the Apollo chips will benefit from Ambiq’s signature Subthreshold Power Optimization Technology (SPOT®) for exceptional energy efficiency, low memory usage, a rich combination of design resources and documentation, easy-to-use development tools, strong community support, and flexibility. Embedded developers, already working within the Zephyr RTOS environment, can easily port their software to Ambiq’s SoCs to take advantage of the much lower power consumption, simplifying their development cycle and scaling their products for faster time to market.
“Introducing Zephyr RTOS embedded developers to Ambiq’s low power SoCs/MCUs dramatically expands their toolkit for creating higher performing and more energy efficient edge devices,” said Fumihide Esaka, CEO of Ambiq. “I have no doubts that Zephyr’s versatility and powerful community with highly documented resources, coupled with Ambiq’s ultra-low power offerings, will appeal to embedded developers at businesses of all sizes.”
“With the incredible growth Zephyr has experienced in the last few years including more than 100,000 commits on GitHub from more than 2,000 contributors, it is set to become a de-facto standard RTOS choice,” said Michael Gielda, Co-Founder of Antmicro and Chair of The Zephyr Project Marketing Committee.
