Linux Foundation has released Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) for Internet of Things devices, dubbed “Zephyr” This OS enables connected devices to communicate with the same protocol. Zephyr is expected to take the best of both sides: low-consumption as well as speed. Linux Foundation is maintaining a dedicated security working group and a delegated security maintainer to be available through IRC Chats, so that anyone could help report the vulnerabilities in open discussions. The project is supported by NXP Semiconductors, Synopsys, and UbiquiOS Technology and is licensed under Apache 2.0.
