BeagleBoard.org has joined the Zephyr Project as an Associate Member, formalizing a collaboration that has been growing for years. Zephyr is already a familiar tool across the Beagle ecosystem. Support for Beagle platforms has been developed upstream alongside the community, and many Beagle users are already using Zephyr for real-time, low-level, and microcontroller-class development (even […]
