Zephyr has nothing to do with the Linux Kernel -- especially from a technical standpoint. It is a project that is under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation, that's all.
- wyldfire 5y agoSorry I didn't mean to suggest that its design took inspiration from the kernel. but adjacent features like Kconfig it does.
- elcritch 5y agoMuch of the core kernel elements definitely follow Linux kernel conventions as well. For example the `eventfd` api was copied from Linux and is quite handy. The POSIX compatibility layer constants match those in Linux, etc. The style guide is also borrowed from Linux.
