How Zephyr is eating the (embedded) software world
summary
Zephyr claims deployment in millions if not tens of millions of devices and marks a decade of active development while providing a real time kernel plus stacks, hardware abstraction, device tree and Kconfig driven configuration. It ships hundreds of drivers, a cross‑platform reproducible developer environment, emulator support and a testing system called Twister that runs half a million tests every weekend. Community velocity shows 350+ contributors last month and project tooling gives one click SBOM generation.
