About reliability of NRF-Connect SES/Zephyr development platform.

Hello Nordic gurus.
I am exploring possibility to build our new system using Nordic's Semi ecosystem, especially nrf91, nrf53 and nrf52.
It appears to me that SES/Zephyr platform is very fragile and simple update on the branch, or any of the components( Zephyr, CMake, e.t.c.) can crash the system and ruin the project schedules.
I have two questions:
1) Is there any chance to get VM (VirtualBox, e.t.c.) which is fully set-up with SES/Zephyr platform and can compile Nordic's samples (nrf91's asset-tracking demo application, e.t.c.) without any errors?
2) Is there any other RTOS can be used with SES and/or IAR to be compatible with nrf-connect and nrf-sdk libraries?

  • Hi, 

    1) Is there any chance to get VM (VirtualBox, e.t.c.) which is fully set-up with SES/Zephyr platform and can compile Nordic's samples (nrf91's asset-tracking demo application, e.t.c.) without any errors?

    Unfortunately, we don't have that. You can follow the getting-started guide to set up your development environment. 

     

    2) Is there any other RTOS can be used with SES and/or IAR to be compatible with nrf-connect and nrf-sdk libraries?

    The nRF Connect SDK includes the ZephyrTm real-time operating system (RTOS).  

    The SDK provides ports for some real-time operating system (RTOS) variants. In addition to the ported source code, the SDK includes example applications that use the ported RTOS libraries. Please see the RTOS support
