Build Modern Wireless Designs Faster With Zephyr OS
Zephyr is rapidly becoming a preferred Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) for IoT products because of its modular architecture, rich driver support and mature developer tooling. It provides cross‑platform portability, flexible Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) integration, built‑in logging, debugging and testing, and extensive protocol support, including Bluetooth® LE, OpenThread, CAN bus and more.
As adoption grows, developers are choosing MCUs with validated wireless stacks to reduce risk, simplify development and accelerate certification. We offer production‑ready Bluetooth and Thread® connectivity to Zephyr OS on our PIC32 BZ MCUs to help you build reliable, connected products faster on an industry‑proven platform.
Why Choose Our Wireless Solutions in Zephyr?
Validated Stacks
We use the fully qualified Bluetooth and Thread stacks available in Zephyr and test them on our devices for production‑ready performance.
Connectivity and More
Unlike dedicated wireless chips, our PIC32 BZ devices combine wireless connectivity with motor control, touch, graphics and CAN, which are accessible through Zephyr RTOS.
Development-Friendly
Zephyr RTOS gives you an integrated HAL, logging, tracing, simulation and a robust testing framework to accelerate development.
Future-Proof
Our wireless solutions support Thread and IP‑based networking so that you can build interoperable smart home and smart building devices for next‑generation ecosystems.
