Zephyr is now available for high-performing AI at the edge on the Apollo3 Family SoCs, Apollo4 Plus, Apollo4 Blue Plus and Zephyr support for the Apollo510 MCU will also be made available in 2025.
Manufacturers running Zephyr on the Apollo chips will benefit from Ambiq’s signature Subthreshold Power Optimization Technology (SPOT) which provides improved energy efficiency, low memory usage, an extensive combination of design resources and documentation, easy-to-use development tools, strong community support, and flexibility.
Embedded developers, already working within the Zephyr environment, can easily port their software to Ambiq’s chips to take advantage of the much lower power consumption, simplifying their development cycle and scaling their products for faster time to market.
“We are excited to be part of the Zephyr ecosystem,” said Fumihide Esaka, CEO of Ambiq. “Introducing Zephyr embedded developers to Ambiq’s low power solutions dramatically expands their toolkit for creating higher performing and more energy efficient edge devices. I have no doubts that Zephyr’s versatility and powerful community, coupled with Ambiq’s ultra-low power solutions, will appeal to embedded developers.”
Zephyr has experienced rapid growth in the last few years including more than 100,000 commits on GitHub from more than 2,000 contributors.
“It is set to become a de-facto standard RTOS choice,” said Michael Gielda, Co-Founder of Antmicro and Chair of The Zephyr Project Marketing Committee, “and we are pleased to see Ambiq actively contributing to the ecosystem with support for their platforms to enable a next generation of low-power products running Zephyr.”
