Zerynth is a software implementation of the Python programming language for programming microcontrollers. It targets 32-bit microcontroller platforms and is designed to mix Python with C code.[1] It connects the microcontrollers to the cloud for developing Internet of Things (IoT) products.[2]
Zerynth is made for designers, engineers, programmers and IoT professionals for product designing and ideation without focusing on low-level configurations and programming.
Ecosystem[edit]
Zerynth's technology allows companies to acquire data from both their legacy machines and new industrial machines, to view data from an interactive dashboard, to receive real-time notifications, and integrates with their existing company’s ERP or other IT systems.[3]
The Zerynth IoT Platform allows companies to acquire data from both legacy and new generation machinery, do real-time production monitoring, measure energy consumption, predict malfunctions, gain instant notifications and easily integrate with any existing ERP, MES, or BI systems.[4]
Tools[edit]
Zerynth Virtual Machine is a multithreaded stack-based virtual machine designed to execute a custom Python bytecode.[7] It has a footprint of around 60–80 kB of Flash and 3–5 kB of RAM, depending on the target platform and platform SDK.[2] Zerynth VM allows development of Python programs that are independent of the hardware permitting code reusability and integration.[8]
Zerynth Studio is a free, open-source cross-platform IDE empowered by a command line toolchain for provisioning microcontrollers with a Zerynth VM and developing Python programs for it.[7][9]
Zerynth Advanced Device Manager (ADM) exposes an API-based interface to ease the cloud data forwarding, Firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates,[10] and Remote Procedure Calling.[5] The software also has an app which allows users to prototype UI for devices programmed with Zerynth.[11]

Funding[edit]
According to Tech.eu, as of November 2022, "Zerynth raised €5.3 million, which brings its lifetime funding to €7.3 million, following a €2 million injection two years back. The funding round was led by United Ventures."[12] However, as of 2022, Zerynth, the company managing the Zerynth software, had a revenue of €629.656, down from 2021 revenue of €895.064, and a negative return of €−2.357.356[13]
