The Zephyr Project is a scalable real-time operating system (RTOS) supporting multiple hardware architectures, optimized for resource constrained devices, and built with security in mind. The Zephyr OS is based on a small-footprint kernel designed for use on resource-constrained systems: from simple embedded environmental sensors and LED wearables to sophisticated smart watches and IoT wireless gateways. The Zephyr kernel supports multiple architectures, including ARM (Cortex-A, Cortex-R, Cortex-M), Intel x86, ARC, Nios II, Tensilica Xtensa, and RISC-V, SPARC, MIPS, and a large number of `supported boards`_. .. below included in doc/introduction/introduction.rst Getting Started *************** Welcome to Zephyr! See the `Introduction to Zephyr`_ for a high-level overview, and the documentation's `Getting Started Guide`_ to start developing. .. start_include_here Community Support ***************** Community support is provided via mailing lists and Discord; see the Resources below for details. .. _project-resources: Resources ********* Here's a quick summary of resources to help you find your way around: * **Help**: `Asking for Help Tips`_ * **Documentation**: http://docs.zephyrproject.org (`Getting Started Guide`_) * **Source Code**: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr is the main repository; https://elixir.bootlin.com/zephyr/latest/source contains a searchable index * **Releases**: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/releases * **Samples and example code**: see `Sample and Demo Code Examples`_ * **Mailing Lists**: users@lists.zephyrproject.org and devel@lists.zephyrproject.org are the main user and developer mailing lists, respectively.
