Topic: Zephyr Update
Abstract: Zephyr has been steadily growing through the years since it launched in 2016. It’s become one of the most active projects at the Linux Foundation, and by some measures one of the top 30 most active open source projects in 2024. This talk will provide an update on the current status of the project, and a look forward to the areas of focus for 2025, including the progress towards safety certification.
Speaker: Kate Stewart, Linux Foundation

Topic: Update on Rust on Zephyr
Abstract: Recently I began an earnest effort to bring Rust support to Zephyr. This work is now in a Zephyr module and included in the mainline support. This talk will describe where we’re at with this, what can be done with it, and why someone might want to use Rust to develop a Zephyr application.
Speaker: David Brown, Linaro

Topic: Why Rust and Zephyr are a good fit
Abstract: When seeking to use Rust for embedded development, there are several options, including bare-metal, a few rust-specific rtos implementations, and several existing RTOSes. This talk discusses why Zephyr is a good fit for an embedded Rust, and especially how we are able to leverage some of Zephyr’s strengths, including a rich and diverse set of supported targets, and some of Zephyr’s features, such as the work queue mechanism, and how it fits well with Rust’s async system.
