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-M,
Intel x86, ARC, Nios II, Tensilica Xtensa, and RISC-V, and a large number of
`supported boards`_.

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. You can join the developer's list and search its archives at
`Zephyr Development mailing list`_. The other `Zephyr mailing list
subgroups`_ have their own archives and sign-up pages.
* **Nightly CI Build Status**: https://lists.zephyrproject.org/g/builds
The builds@lists.zephyrproject.org mailing list archives the CI
(buildkite) nightly build results.
* **Chat**: Real-time chat happens in Zephyr's Discord Server. Use
this `Discord Invite`_ to register.
* **Contributing**: see the `Contribution Guide`_
* **Wiki**: `Zephyr GitHub wiki`_
* **Issues**: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues
* **Security Issues**: Email vulnerabilities@zephyrproject.org to report
security issues; also see our `Security`_ documentation. Security issues are
tracked separately at https://zephyrprojectsec.atlassian.net.
