Announcing Beta Support for Zephyr in the Golioth Firmware SDK We are excited to announce the availability of a public Beta for support for the Zephyr RTOS in the Golioth Firmware SDK! But wait, you say, doesn’t Golioth already support Zephyr? We do! Goloith has always been, and will continue to be, a big proponent of the Zephyr RTOS and its community. We built the first version of our product specifically to work with the Zephyr RTOS. But our goal is to serve the IoT community at large, and that includes folks who choose to use an operating system other than Zephyr. To that end, we created the Golioth Firmware SDK, which is designed from the ground up to be portable to any RTOS. It already has full support for ESP-IDF and Modus Toolbox, limited support for Linux, and a pathway for porting to any other operating system. It also incorporates all of our learnings over the last few years building IoT firmware, with the result being a cleaner internal architecture and more flexible external APIs. This left us with two SDKs to support, meaning every bugfix or new feature required twice as much work. Like many of you, we have finite resources, and doing everything twice didn’t feel like the right way to scale. So, we chose to invest in bringing our same first-class support for Zephyr to the Golioth Firmware SDK. What does this mean for Zephyr support? Golioth’s support for Zephyr remains as strong as ever. We continue to be financial sponsors of the project, sit on the Technical Steering Committee, and provide free Zephyr training. In short, we love Zephyr! What’s next? We are already hard…
