TI Expands Zephyr RTOS Support Across Entire Embedded Product Portfolio

Published2026.10.02 09:15

Unified Development Environment Spanning MCU, MPU, and Wireless Connectivity Devices

Texas Instruments (TI) has expanded support for Zephyr Project, an open-source real-time operating system (RTOS), across its entire embedded product portfolio. From microcontrollers (MCU) to microprocessors (MPU) and wireless connectivity devices, developers can now configure a production-grade development environment on a single platform, and the company also announced support for complying with European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements.

TI announced Zephyr integration across its embedded portfolio on the 2nd.

Developers who previously utilized Zephyr on other platforms can now transition to TI semiconductors without restructuring their code bases or workflows, the company explained.

TI stated that based on the Linux Foundation's long-term support framework, it will regularly update the Zephyr Software Development Kit (SDK) to address security vulnerabilities.

Unified Development Environment Based on Single Platform

In environments where the software ecosystem is fragmented, code rewriting is often inevitable when switching semiconductor suppliers.

TI's Zephyr integration focuses on reducing this transition burden.

Developers can leverage TI's entire embedded and analog portfolio while maintaining existing Zephyr code bases and toolchains, TI stated.

Marian Kost, Vice President and General Manager of TI's Wireless Connectivity Division, said "Developers can use TI semiconductors while maintaining familiar open-source workflows, and can leverage hardware and software support needed from prototyping through mass production as well as reliable supply capabilities."

Upstream Contributions and Long-Term Security Support

TI contributes code and reference designs directly to the upstream Zephyr community and also operates a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) environment through its public GitHub page.

Developers can utilize new features and resources early, prior to their inclusion in the final SDK release.

Verified releases, migration guides, and backward compatibility guidance and other support resources are provided to reduce maintenance burdens considering product lifecycles of over 10 years.

Kate Stewart, Vice President of the Dependable Embedded Systems Division at the Linux Foundation, stated "TI's decision to support its broad portfolio on Zephyr demonstrates a commitment to an upstream-first approach toward a common platform."
