May 2026 monthly summary for Zephyr4Microchip/zephyr: Platform bring-up and extended Microchip integration for PIC32CM SG/GC SoCs, plus initial Curiosity Pro board support. Focused on enabling customers to prototype and deploy PIC32CM SG/GC on Zephyr with reliable RAM ECC initialization, robust device-tree definitions, and aligned configuration. Impact: Expanded platform coverage reduces integration risk for Microchip customers, accelerates time-to-market for PIC32CM SG/GC solutions, and establishes a maintainable foundation for future subfamily bring-up and board support.
