On July 9th, Arm announced that the Mbed platform and OS are officially destined to reach end of life in July 2026, and therefore will no longer be maintained.
The news has sent ripples through the embedded development community, particularly affecting brands like micro:bit, Raspberry Pi and, of course, Arduino – all of which received Arm’s support over the years.
Arduino posts:
We knew the end of life was nearing and began proactively searching for a substitute years in advance. Spoiler: we found an excellent one in ZephyrOS!
We plan to release the first beta of this transition by the end of 2024, with a rollout for various boards starting in 2025.
