2.3 Common Applications

Oftentimes, engineers will use an RTOS in time-sensitive applications such as medical, industrial, automotive, and wearable applications. Reviewing the advantages of Zephyr makes it clear how it may be useful in these situations. The time-sensitive properties work well in a medical, industrial, or automotive application where immediate response is critical to user safety and application consistency.

The Zephyr stack has numerous TI and third-party sensors integrated, making it simple for the designer to quickly bring up a full system or prototype without needing to code these by hand. Additionally, Zephyr is open-source, so updated sensors are added frequently. Battery chargers, connectivity solutions, environmental sensors, and more are available to be interfaced with immediately.
