Zephyr is a small real-time operating system for connected, resource-constrained and embedded devices. It's popularity make it a de-facto standard for embedded systems, with many embedded-systems engineers familiar with its API. Support for the Zephyr API in LionsOS would therefore ease porting embedded applications into native components.

The Trustworthy Systems (TS) Group is the pioneer in formal (mathematical) correctness and security proofs of computer systems software. Its formally verified seL4 microkernel, now backed by the seL4 Foundation, is deployed in real-world systems ranging from defence systems via medical devices, autonomous cars to critical infrastructure. The group's vision is to make verified software the standard for security- and safety-critical systems. Core to this a focus on performance as well as making software verification more scalable and less expensive.
- Design, implementation and evaluation of a Zephyr-compatible API on top of Lions (with liberal re-use of Zephyr code (as permitted under its permissive license).
