How to Transition from nRF5 SDK to Zephyr NCS - Lessons from Ultrahuman’s Journey | Interrupt

At Ultrahuman, innovation is at the core of everything we do. Our health devices, powered by the nRF52840 SoC for BLE functionality, rely on Nordic Semiconductor’s renowned wireless technology. For years, the nRF5 SDK was the cornerstone of firmware development for these chipsets, but in 2018, Nordic introduced the nRF-Connect SDK (NCS), built on Zephyr RTOS, signaling a new era for BLE applications.

Thanks for the article.

Maybe a dumb question, how come the AI algorthims weren’t compatible with FreeRTOS? It seems like unless you upgraded hardware the same algorithm is going to use the same cpu, etc. Shouldn’t an algorithm be more or less RTOS-Independent?
