Total opposite. I’m having much more luck with FreeRTOS now that it’s an Amazon product than I was with Zephyr. I’m using it with AWS though, so this isn’t much of a surprise.
I’m not sure it’ll go anywhere, but I think it’s no coincidence zephyr is setting up to support multiple cores - and Nordic just released a dual core chip and signed on early to Zephyr.
- bsder 7y agoNordic signed on for Zephyr and Segger Embedded Studio. Nordic clearly are signaling "we're tired of spending money on infrastructure software". I hope they know what they are doing. IMO, the Nordic BLE stack was one of their primary competitive advantages.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoAgreed! They insist they aren’t dumping their stack (yes they are) but incorporating ideas in to Zephyr. That said, they were definitely on the wrong track with SDKs that wildly changed every 6 months and were almost impossible to keep up with! Their stack being FCC certified is a huge bonus. Saves weeks of work and $10,000 or so to not have to do full FCC cert instead of just emission testing. As to Segger Studio, it’s Rowley Crossworks and while I miss a couple of things from Keil it has been an overall better experience for some reason.
