ZBus: the message bus built for Zephyr®

ZBus is Zephyr’s lightweight publish-and-subscribe message bus for event-driven applications. Created and maintained by Zano engineers, it helps embedded teams decouple software components, scale complex firmware and make systems easier to test and evolve.

Objective‑Z

Write Objective‑C. Ship plain C.

An Objective‑C transpiler for Zephyr® RTOS. Classes, protocols, properties, blocks and ARC are lowered to readable C — with no runtime, second compiler or FFI layer, while Zephyr® macros and devicetree APIs remain directly callable.

Zephlet

Isolated components. Explicit communication.

A reusable framework for building domain-isolated components on Zephyr® RTOS. Each instance communicates exclusively through ZBus, combining synchronous commands with asynchronous events in a clear, modular architecture.

Two channels per instanceSynchronous commands and asynchronous event fan-out through ZBus.
Multiple instancesEach instance keeps its own channels, configuration and data.
Typed interfacesMethod dispatch and event contracts make component boundaries explicit.

ZView

See the system live — without stopping it.

A host-side runtime visualizer for Zephyr® applications. Through an SWD probe, it displays live thread, stack, CPU and heap statistics with a nearly zero on-target footprint.

Live thread and CPU statisticsUnderstand system-wide behavior while the application runs.
Stack and heap insightTrack watermarks and runtime memory information.
Host-side TUINear-zero on-target footprint with no UART or Shell dependency.

Lua Zephyr

Lua scripting, built for Zephyr®.

A Zephyr® module that integrates Lua 5.5 as a first-class scripting engine for embedded systems. Scripts run in dedicated threads with isolated heaps and communicate with the firmware through ZBus, keeping scripting sandboxed and deterministic.

Explore Lua Zephyr ↗
Isolated executionEach Lua thread has its own heap, stack and allocator.
Native ZBus integrationPublish, read and subscribe to channels directly from Lua.
Flexible script loadingEmbed source, use precompiled bytecode or load scripts from a filesystem.

For clients · Engineering from Brazil

Global standards. Brazilian advantage.

The concerns international teams usually have — technical seniority, communication, time-zone coordination and budget — are precisely where Zano’s Brazilian engineering model becomes an advantage.

Senior engineers

Experienced embedded specialists bring technical excellence, creative thinking and genuine passion to every project - from critical decisions to delivery.

40–50% lower cost

A lean Brazilian structure delivers high-level engineering at a substantially lower cost than comparable US and European teams.

English-fluent team

Clear, direct communication with engineers — without layers of translation or unnecessary handoffs.

UTC−3 time-zone advantage

Real-time collaboration with the Americas and useful overlap with European working hours.

Zephyr® First · Not Zephyr® Only

Deep Zephyr® expertise. Complete embedded engineering.

Zephyr® is our primary specialization, but our embedded knowledge goes beyond a single technology. Zano develops complete hardware and software solutions across different platforms — from system architecture and custom board design to the software that brings the product to life.
