First and foremost, since our last update, Nordic Semiconductor has made two very exciting acquisitions: Memfault and Neuton.Ai. Let’s explore what that means for you as a developer.
Nordic acquires Memfault: Chip-to-cloud device management
Nordic Semiconductor has acquired Memfault, creating the industry’s first complete chip-to-cloud platform for managing the entire lifecycle of connected products.
With Memfault’s leading cloud services integrated across Nordic’s product portfolio and nRF Cloud, developers gain powerful tools for device observability, management, and secure over-the-air updates. With Memfault, developers can build more resilient connected products and manage them efficiently from development through deployment.

New Edge AI technology: Neuton, ultra-small ML models
Nordic has also acquired Neuton.AI, expanding our AI capabilities. Neuton’s platform makes it possible to create ultra-small (< 5 KB on average) machine learning models. With Neuton’s easy-to-use platform, you can generate ready-to-use ML models for any Nordic SoC in just a few clicks, and no coding or ML expertise is required.
If you missed our webinar with the Neuton team, it is now on-demand:

Nordic's contribution to Zephyr
Zephyr RTOS has rapidly grown into the most widely adopted open-source real-time operating system for secure, connected, and low-power embedded devices. Hosted by the Linux Foundation and backed by a vibrant community of contributors, Zephyr offers much more than an RTOS kernel—it’s a comprehensive, modular, portable, and scalable ecosystem trusted by thousands of developers around the world.
Nordic has been a leading contributor to the Zephyr Project since adopting the nRF Connect SDK in 2016. Curious how Zephyr grew into the leading RTOS for IoT? Our webinar with Kate Stewart from the Linux Foundation is now on-demand:
