Nordic and Adero collaborate on the Zephyr RTOS project and make available the world’s first open source, fully-qualified and production-ready Bluetooth Low Energy stack deployed in the ‘Adero Intelligent Organization’ product suite based on the nRF52840 and nRF52810 SoCs

Nordic Semiconductor today announces that its nRF52840 and nRF52810 Bluetooth® Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) System-on-Chip (SoCs) running Zephyr RTOS have been selected by Santa Barbara, CA-based Adero™ for its suite of intelligent organization products.

Nordic has been a member of the Zephyr™ project since 2016 and is present on both the Governing Board and Technical Steering Committee. Nordic developers have made extensive contributions to Zephyr since 2016, including the Bluetooth LE Link Layer and MCU Manager device management protocol for device firmware update (DFU), used by Adero in its ‘Intelligent Organization Starter and Deluxe Kits’, recently launched in the U.S. Due to the long term partnership and Nordic’s position in the Zephyr project, Nordic was well placed to work with Adero when they selected the Zephyr RTOS.

“We chose Zephyr as the RTOS for our product as this was the best future oriented platform and OS for our embedded product,” says Adrian Yanes, Vice President or Product Development at Adero. “We knew the nRF52 Series was strong on low power and overall performance, and selecting this came naturally as it really complemented Zephyr with its modest footprint, low overhead and overall performance.

“The already existing features in Zephyr, and Nordic’s ability to support us on some central elements like the open source Bluetooth stack, allowed us to focus most of our efforts on our application which was really critical to use during our product development.”

“Nordic routinely supports nRF52 Series SoC products to accelerate customer product development,” says Joel Stapleton, Technical Product Manager, Nordic Semiconductor. “Supporting the Zephyr RTOS and collaborating around an open source platform proved to be an effective way to focus our efforts where they made the biggest difference for the customer and allowed us to work openly and faster as a result.

“We saw that the unique expertise that exists in different organizations can come together to continually build a better solution for all users. For Nordic, the independence of the Zephyr project is a key advantage over alternative solutions for customers as it attracts the greatest diversity of supported platforms and developers. The Zephyr RTOS vision aligns closely with the product makers using Nordic devices, and Nordic is heavily involved in the project to help achieve that vision.
