Episode Summary
- Steam Controller 3D Files: Valve published Steam Controller 3D files , including STEP and STL models, continuing a very welcome trend of hardware vendors sharing useful mechanical assets.
- GitHub Weather Forecast: The weekly “is GitHub broken?” segment returns, with GitHub Actions and pull request workflows getting their turn in the storm clouds.
- CPU Frequency Thermal Caps: A new
cpu_freqthermal cap constraints policy adds temperature-aware limits to runtime frequency scaling, bringing thermal throttling-style behavior to Zephyr. - GPIO Keys Shutdown Behavior: GPIO keys shutdown behavior gets attention, especially around low-power states, pin disconnect support, and the fact that GPIO portability is often trickier than it looks.
- Twister Multi-DUT Testing: Twister multi-DUT testing enables coordinated tests across multiple devices, useful for Bluetooth, networking, and other scenarios where one board is not enough.
- DEVICE_API_EXTENDS:
DEVICE_API_EXTENDSgives Zephyr devices a cleaner way to expose multiple APIs, helping model more complex hardware without awkward workarounds. - HTTP Client Shell Commands: The HTTP client shell gains more command options , making it more useful for testing and debugging networking behavior directly from the shell.
- TAS2563 Smart Amplifier: A new TAS2563 I2S smart amplifier driver expands Zephyr’s audio hardware support.
- FDC1004 Capacitance Sensor: Support for the FDC1004 adds a 4-channel capacitance-to-digital sensor, useful for touch, proximity, and level-sensing applications.
- Renesas SLG47910 FPGA: The Renesas SLG47910 FPGA driver brings support for a small configurable mixed-signal device that can offload glue logic from the main MCU.
- Kapa.ai in Zephyr Docs: The Kapa.ai chatbot is now live in the Zephyr documentation , giving users a new way to ask questions across docs and project knowledge.
- New Boards and Shields: New hardware support lands for the M5Stack Unit Gesture , Arduino Nesso N1 , Tomu , XIAO ESP32C5 , FlySky FS-i6S , Alif Balletto B1 , and reTerminal E1003 .
- OSS Europe / Zephyr Developer Summit CFP: The CFP is open for Open Source Summit Europe and Zephyr Developer Summit, so now is the time to submit talks.
