Major Embedded News for Week 46 of 2025

The embedded news for week 46 of 2025 is as follows:1. Zephyr RTOS 4.3.0 ReleasedZephyr RTOS officially released version 4.3.0 on November 13, 2025. This update mainly brings improved support for multi-core and heterogeneous SoCs, stricter and unified device tree (DTS)/driver binding specifications, as well as numerous stability fixes for peripheral subsystems such as SPI, I²C, and Sensors. In terms of security, version 4.3 further strengthens the security partition (PSA/TF-M) and secure boot system. Additionally, it adds and expands support for ARM, RISC-V, and wireless SoCs from multiple vendors, while optimizing the build system and VS Code development experience.2. Open Source USB PD 3.2 Sink Protocol Stack Officially ReleasedIn November 2025, the open-source community launched pdsink, a USB Power Delivery 3.2 Sink (power-receiving end) protocol stack designed for embedded devices, supporting the latest fast charging standards including EPR (Extended Power Range), suitable for various power modules, embedded terminals, and mobile devices.pdsink provides a complete implementation of USB-C CC communication, PD3.2 protocol parsing, PDO/AVS negotiation, and power management state machine, with good portability, making it easy to integrate into lightweight microcontrollers such as Cortex-M and RISC-V. The project is licensed under the MIT open-source license, suitable for commercial products and research development.This release also includes a configurable power policy interface, optional FRS (Fast Role Swap) support, a debugging log module, and a HAL abstraction layer, enabling developers to implement power-receiving functionality without relying on dedicated PD chips, making it suitable for building PD power supply solutions for power modules, smart terminals, mobile accessories, robots, and industrial equipment.
