Zephyr at 10: The Open RTOS Powering India's IoT Boom - Hilary Carter, The Linux Foundation

Tuesday June 16, 2026 5:40pm - 6:20pm IST

Lotus 2 (Third Floor)

Ten years ago, the Zephyr Project set out to build an open, scalable real-time operating system for connected and resource-constrained devices. Today, Zephyr powers a rapidly growing ecosystem spanning IoT, industrial systems, automotive platforms, and edge computing.

This session celebrates Zephyr’s first decade and explores what has driven its success—from technical architecture and open governance to a vibrant global contributor community. Drawing on insights from a new Linux Foundation Research study, the discussion will highlight key milestones, ecosystem growth, and the forces shaping Zephyr’s future.

In this session, we’ll explore:

-The Zephyr features that are most valued
-How open collaboration accelerates RTOS innovation
-Growth of the global Zephyr developer ecosystem
-Real-world Zephyr practitioner use cases & insights

Key questions:
-How is Zephyr being used across embedded products?
-What are the defining features of Zephyr that have contributed to its adoption?
-What are the attributes of the Zephyr community that contribute to the project's growth and health?
