Fabless semiconductor company Morse Micro has joined the Linux Foundation-hosted Zephyr Project. The firm also launched a 0.1.0 version of an external Wi-Fi HaLow module for the platform.
Why it matters
This integration enables Zephyr developers to access Wi-Fi HaLow software directly, reducing the need for teams to port and maintain complex custom software stacks.
The new 0.1.0 external module provides support for the MM6108 and MM8108 hardware architectures. It allows developers to utilize existing drivers and sample applications on Zephyr-supported boards with minimal rework.
The players
Morse Micro
This fabless semiconductor company specializes in Wi-Fi HaLow technology for the internet of things.
Zephyr Project
Hosted by the Linux Foundation, this open-source project provides a real-time operating system for resource-constrained devices.
Linux Foundation
This non-profit organization hosts the Zephyr Project and supports collaborative software development initiatives.
The details
By integrating its technology with the Zephyr real-time operating system, Morse Micro allows application portability across various architectures. The module facilitates seamless interaction between Wi-Fi HaLow software and resource-constrained devices managed by the open-source collaboration.
Timeline
September 22, 2026: The integration and module release were announced.
October 7-9, 2026: Morse Micro will attend the Zephyr Developer Summit in Prague.
The Tech Race
Morse Micro's integration with the Zephyr Project signals a move toward standardized software stacks in the competitive internet of things semiconductor market. By aligning with the Linux Foundation-backed platform, the company is positioning its hardware to gain wider adoption compared to proprietary, siloed ecosystems.
Developers and engineers can now integrate Wi-Fi HaLow connectivity into their projects with reduced development time and lower software maintenance overhead. This standardization allows for faster deployment of resource-constrained IoT devices across various supported hardware architectures.
The takeaway
The move to open-source integration reduces the technical barrier for teams adopting Wi-Fi HaLow connectivity in constrained environments. Companies using similar hardware architectures should monitor upcoming support updates to determine if they can simplify their own software deployment pipelines.
What happens next
Morse Micro is scheduled to participate in the Zephyr Developer Summit, which takes place in Prague from October 7-9, 2026.
