SUMMARY:Open Source Summit Europe (Vienna\, Austria)
DESCRIPTION:The Open Source Summit Europe\, which takes place on September 16-18 in Vienna\, Austria\, is packed with technical content. It is the premier event for open source developers\, technologists\, and community leaders to collaborate\, share information\, solve problems\, and gain knowledge\, furthering open source innovation and ensuring a sustainable open source ecosystem. \nAs a conference umbrella\, Open Source Summit is composed of a collection of microconferences covering the most important technologies\, topics\, and issues affecting open source today. Zephyr will be featured as a microconference. Check out the schedule below. \nMonday\, September 16\n15:25 CEST: Bringing Existing Open-Source Code into MISRA Compliance – Roberto Bagnara\, University of Parma and BUGSENG – Roberto Bagnara\, Professor at University of Parma and BUGSENG \nBringing an existing codebase into MISRA compliance is known to be a difficult\, risky and time-consuming task. Yet\, when a product needs a functional safety certification and rewriting the software is out of question\, this is a necessity. Such an endeavor requires facing multiple tradeoffs and\, consequently\, lots of experience both on the codebase and on MISRA. The choices between deviating the guideline\, and the (often\, many) ways in which code may be changed and deviations may be formulated\, are tough and with consequences that are not immediately evident. The situation is particularly interesting in the case of open-source software\, where additional challenges have to be faced. In this presentation\, we illustrate our experience and the several lessons learned while undertaking MISRA compliance work in open-source projects\, most notably the Zephyr RTOS and the Xen hypervisor\, both used in many embedded systems. Key take-home points include: effective deviation strategies and mechanisms; dealing with the MISRA C essential type model (guidelines related to that account for many of the violations in existing codebases); interaction with open-source communities. \nTuesday\, September 17:\n9 am CEST: How to Contribute a Zephyr Sensor Driver – Maureen Helm\,  Distinguished Engineer at Analog Devices \nThe Zephyr sensor driver API is a popular area for new contributors to submit code upstream; a sensor driver is well-contained\, it doesn’t touch more intimidating or complex subsystems\, and most importantly\, it enables your Zephyr application to interact with the physical world in a new way. Naturally\, you want to share it with the open source community\, but how do you do it? This talk will share best practices and common pitfalls encountered by new contributors submitting their first sensor driver\, and provide insight into why maintainers request certain changes. \n09:50 CEST: Zephyr Build System: Sysbuild and New Hardware Model – Torsten Tejlmand Rasmussen\, Open Source Software Engineer at Nordic Semiconductor  \nThe Zephyr build system had been reaching its limits in its ability to build multiple images for modern SoCs in its previous hardware model.\nThe original build system began with the concept of a simple board containing a single core SoC for which you would build a single image. In today’s world however\, developers want to build multiple images for boards which may have multiple SoCs and / or SoCs with multiple CPU cores. This evolution towards complexity led us to the development and introduction of sysbuild and a new hardware model in Zephyr. \nThe purpose of this talk is to dive into the new hardware model\, and what it provides seen from a developer’s point of view\, and from there continue into sysbuild\, where the new hardware model is leveraged in order to build multiple images for a single device. The talk will go over how you as a developer can make the best use of the new hardware model and sysbuild to effectively build a complete project. \n11:00 CEST: Secure and Encrypted Boot in Zephyr RTOS – Parthiban N\, Software Engineer at Linumiz \nMCUboot enables secure booting of Zephyr RTOS using asymmetric cryptographic signature verification with a public key. The hash of the public key is embedded or compiled with the MCUboot binary by default\, which is used for checking the integrity of the public key. To tamper-proof\, as an alternate secure boot option\, the hash of the public key can be stored securely and retrieved when hardware keys are enabled. Security of embedded SoC’s (e.g.\, i.MX RT) offers more capabilities\, such as High Assurance Boot (HAB)\, Data Co-Processor (DCP)\, or Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M) implementing the Trustzone for SoC’s (e.g.\, nRF91) to enable secure storage with hardware crypto acceleration or external security modules (e.g.\, TPM\, EdegeLock) to store keys in hardware vaults. \nThis talk will detail MCUboot secure booting with hardware keys. NXP i.MX RT as an example using HAB for booting singed and encrypted bootloader MCUboot\, enabling hardware root of trust\, and booting Zephyr RTOS using keys from OTP for verification. We will also see about using the TF-M backend and OTP for secure booting Trustzone-enabled SoCs. \n11:20 CEST: Zephyr Network Subsystem Status and Overview – Jukka Rissanen\, Principal Engineer at Nordic Semiconductor \nNetwork connectivity is important part of Zephyr. This talk will give information of current status of the network stack. \n11:55 CEST: Lightning Talk: The CFU: Custom Hardware with RISCV and Zephyr – Mohammed Billoo\, CEO at MAB Labs Embedded Solutions \nRISC-V’s instruction set architecture (ISA) has enabled seasoned embedded software engineers to experiment with FPGAs since numerous open-source RISC-V cores can be flashed onto an FPGA. \nThe Zephyr Project is rapidly emerging as a leading real-time operating system (RTOS). Zephyr integrates open-source and security best practices to ensure a vendor-neutral\, secure\, and reliable platform. \nOne of the exciting features of the RISCV ISA is the Custom Function Unit (CFU)\, which enables a framework to support custom operations in hardware\, which is accessible from software. In this talk\, Mohammed will demonstrate how to add a CFU into a RISCV core on an FPGA\, and how to make the appropriate calls from Zephyr. \n12:05 CEST Lightning Talk: Zephyr Portability with an AI Application on Very Different MCUs – Ales Ryska\, Systems Engineer at NXP \nCode portability is one of the compelling benefits of adopting Zephyr. In this session we will discuss a single AI-based face detection application that scales from a high performance\, Arm Cortex-M7 based MCU to a low power Cortex-M33 based MCU with a neural processing accelerator. In addition to different main processor cores\, these two platforms have quite different camera and display interfaces\, and one has a limited frame buffer capability\, leading to required improvements in the display driver which NXP has contributed back to the project. This session will also explore the specifics of how devicetree and Kconfig were leveraged to switch between platforms. \n12:15 CEST: Lightning Talk: Using Zephyr to Power the Sustainable Cloud – Dan Kalowsky\, Firmware Engineer at Ampere Computing \nShare how Ampere Computing uses Zephyr to re-imagine the cloud in a more sustainable way. Covering some of the challenges encountered aligning product goals with Zephyr\, adding new code coverage beyond the upstream support\, and getting a test environments up and running. \n12:25 CEST: Lightning Talk: Implementing the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) in the Zephyr Project – Adam Wojasiński\, Software Engineer at BayLibre \nIn order for highly distributed communication to function well\, there must be a reliable time source and a way to synchronize time between devices. In applications such as automotive and industrial control\, the requirements here can be strict and subject to regulatory constraints. Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a response to these hard time synchronization requirements by achieving clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range. \nAs Zephyr becomes more broadly used in these environments\, it needs support for precision timekeeping. This talk will cover a brief overview of PTP\, discussion of various implementation choices for Zephyr\, challenges along the way and upstreaming plans. \n14:00 CEST: Developing Wildlife Camera Traps with Zephyr RTOS – Alex Bucknall\, Software Engineer at Arribada Initiative \nMonitoring wildlife and environmental changes often requires deploying remote camera traps that can capture imagery and activity over long periods of time. These camera systems need to be low-power\, portable\, and easily adapted to different hardware configurations based on project requirements. \nThis talk will cover how we utilised Zephyr to develop flexible time lapse camera solutions for conservation applications. We’ll explore our time lapse camera deployment in Bermuda and how we’re using Zephyr to monitor and understand the impact of seagrass decay on the local marine life. Zephyr allowed us to rapidly target different hardware platforms by abstracting away complex hardware interactions. We’ll discuss how Zephyr’s hardware and driver APIs simplify peripheral access to cameras\, RTCs\, and power management features across multiple vendor SoCs. \nAdditionally\, we’ll explore challenges associated with this kind of cross-platform support\, such as lack of core features for certain vendor SoCs. We’ll also share insights into optimising for size\, performance\, and battery life on constrained embedded devices. \n14:20 CEST: Exploring the Potential of Zephyr in Automotive and Software Defined Vehicles – Philipp Ahmann\, Sr. OSS Community Manager at Etas  GmbH (BOSCH) \nIn the automotive industry more than 100 embedded control units (ECUs) are present in a typical car. They are equipped with microcontrollers responsible for various peripherals within the vehicle. Although it may be challenging to adapt automotive-specific interfaces to an IoT-driven RTOS like Zephyr\, the use of standard peripherals such as GPIOs\, I2C\, and UART can lead to significant synergies with other products. \nHowever\, as starting point\, the talk will delve into the automotive specific requirements and technology stacks necessary for integrating Zephyr into automotive development. Additionally\, it will highlight areas where Zephyr may not yet be a perfect fit for automotive applications. Key touchpoints for discussion will include the compatibility of Zephyr with established automotive standards like Autosar\, COVESA VSS\, and CAN stack. Furthermore\, the talk will address the challenges related to process compliance and adherence to safety integrity standards in the automotive industry. \nThis talk aims to initiate a discussion on the potential wider adoption of Zephyr in automotive products and to foster an engaging discussion among industry professionals. \n14:55 CEST: Lightning Talk: Open Source Fleet Management in Zephyr – Maciej Sobkowski\, Software Engineer at Antmicro \nComplex\, real-life embedded system deployments often consist of multiple SoCs/MCUs running a mix of OSes\, ranging from user-facing high-end nodes based on Linux/Android to MCUs dedicated to controlling specific low-level functions of the device\, using an RTOS like Zephyr. Over-the-air updates for such systems poses a challenge\, as the firmware needs to be updated in a safe & coordinated way. \nRemote Device Fleet Manager is a permissively licensed\, fully open source and self-hostable framework for modular\, configurable OTA updates\, fleet management and ML data management that supports Linux\, Android\, and\, since recently\, also Zephyr-based platforms. \nThis talk will delve into how RDFM was extended to support Zephyr-based systems\, the motivations and considerations of the development and some interesting use cases it enables. RDFM allows for fully redundant updates\, incl. rollback to the previous version\, grouped device updates and mixed OS deployments. \nTo enable tight interoperability with Zephyr’s ecosystem\, the integration is based on the MCUmgr library\, communicating with Zephyr devices via the SMP protocol. The MCUboot bootloader is used for managing the firmware on the device. \n15:05 CEST: Lightning Talk: Delta Firmware Over The Air (DFOTA) Update: Optimizing Device Updates in Zephyr – Romain Pelletant\, Embedded Software Enginner\, & Clovis Corde\, Embedded Software Engineer at Kickmaker \nFirmware Over The Air (FOTA) updates are a well-established method for updating devices\, but this approach shows its limitations in the embedded world. Indeed\, in embedded systems we have 2 main constraints (among others) when discussing firmware updates : memory and bandwidth. Regarding memory\, developing a low-memory-footprint API was our priority when creating this solution. To explain how we built this API\, we will discuss compression algorithms and justify our choice of implementing in Zephyr the open-source library “Heatshrink” which is ideally suited for DFOTA’s needs and for embedded systems in general (we can demonstrate the memory footprint differences compared to the already implemented compression algorithm “LZ4”). Next\, we will see how deltas (or patches) between two firmware versions are generated (we could present a benchmark to illustrate the data savings achieved by sending patches instead of the full firmware\, as it is done during FOTA update). Further\, we will explore the implementation of the DFOTA API to explain how it works and how it can be implemented into your project. \n15:15 CEST: Lightning Talk: How to Create an Asset Tracker With Zephyr and Thingsboard In No Time – Tobias Marquardt\, Embedded Software Engineer at grandcentrix GmbH \nIn this lightning talk I’ll show you how to create a working PoC of an asset tracker with very little effort by using Zephyr. It’s based on an off-the-shelf cellular SoC that sends GPS data over CoAP to the open source Thingsboard IoT cloud platform. \n15:25 CEST: Lightning Talk: From Ideas to 3 Firmwares Powering Railway-Infrastructure Monitoring in 2 Years – Tobias Meyer\, Software Firmware Developer at Konux GmbH \n\n\nUsing Zephyr OS\, we successfully developed three firmware versions in under two years\, establishing a scalable wireless sensor network for enhanced railway infrastructure monitoring. \nThis talk will detail the rationale behind our technology selections\, including Zephyr OS\, BLE\, LTE-M\, and AWS Iot Core. \nWe will discuss specific features of Zephyr that facilitated rapid development and the aspects that presented a learning curve. Our session will explore critical design decisions\, architectural frameworks using Zephyr\, and effective strategies for MCU communication and optimizing battery life. It will show how projects are setup\, dependency are managed using west\, how firmware is tested\, and which features of zephyr we use where. We’ll also share common pitfalls and practical lessons learned. \nConcluding with recent Zephyr updates and our reflective insights\, this presentation will end with what we would have done differently this time. \n\n\n16:00 CEST: Preparing Zephyr for Safety Element out of Context Certification – Nicole Pappler\, Senior Safety Expert at AlektoMetis.com \nZephyr\, as also other open source projects\, is heading towards functional safety\, to achieve a safety certification as a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC) the question of what this really means comes up quite often. \nThere are usually three stakeholders in a project like project community\, the assessor and the user\, who actually wants to use the certified software \nAs all these parties have different expectations of what this certification will require\, there are a lot of different rumours and opinions out there regarding functional safety certification. This talk will give an introduction to what qualification evidence is usually prepared and assessed for a SEooC certification\, what this means for the project and how it can actually be integrated into a safety relevant software system. \nThis talk will also give an update of the current status of the safety working group\, how to participate and what to expect there. \n16:55 CEST: Level Up Your Embedded Testing Game: FRETish\, Robot\, and Twister: A Dream Team – Christian Schlotter\, Software Architect at Carl Zeiss Meditec AG & Tobias Kästner Bridle Maintainer at TiaC Systems \nDeveloping embedded software for regulated environments like medical devices presents unique challenges. Crucially\, we need to document how the software design fulfills stated product requirements. While functional testing remains dominant for verifying functional suitability\, deriving and maintaining effective test suites can quickly become cumbersome. \nThis talk explores a novel approach to this longstanding problem. We leverage NASA’s FRETish method for formally capturing requirements. We will talk about how the formal nature of FRETish requirements allows for automatic test case generation leveraging the Robot Framework. The latter was specifically chosen as it is partially supported by Zephyr’s test harness today and allows to utilize twister for automated test execution of these test suites on real hardware. This method has the potential to streamline testing\, offering benefits such as reduced time and maintenance efforts as well as accurate coverage metrics from very early on in the project’s lifecycle. \nWe’ll discuss our progress in implementing this approach\, the challenges we encountered\, and potential solutions for deeper integration with the Zephyr project. \n17:45 CEST: Zephyr LPWAN: Connectivity Options and When to Choose Them – Jordan Yates\, Co-Founder and Head of Engineering at Embeint \nDevelopers are spoiled for choice when it comes to Low-Power Wide-Area-Network technologies\, which can make it difficult to choose where to focus your time when starting a project. \nIn this session we will run through the advantages and tradeoffs of the various LPWAN solutions that Zephyr supports out of the box\, with respect to power consumption\, range\, reachability and more.\nTechnologies to discuss include Bluetooth\, WiFi\, LTE CAT-M1\, LTE NB-IoT\, LoRa/LoRaWAN and Thread. \nThursday\, September 19\n9-12:30 CEST: Zephyr Workshop (Additional Fee\, pre-registration required) \nRegistration Cost: $10 \nThe Zephyr Workshop\, sponsored by Infineon\, is designed to introduce you to the leading Open Source RTOS built with safety and security in mind. Attendees will learn why Zephyr is gaining the attention of developers and product makers. This session will provide a general overview of the Zephyr OS along with an overview of how to begin building Bluetooth® Low Energy applications using Zephyr RTOS. \nThe hands-on portion of the session will feature the building of two connected applications using Infineon’s AIROC™ CYW20829 Bluetooth® LE MCU Evaluation Kit: \n\nSensor to Phone application – For this hands-on application\, attendees will program a Bluetooth LE peripheral Zephyr application on the AIROC CYW20829 evaluation kit and connect it to a phone running the AIROC™ Bluetooth® Connect App.\nPeriodic Advertising with Responses (PAwR) application – For this hands-on application\, attendees will program a PAwR Zephyr application on the AIROC CYW20829 evaluation kit. Each participant will communicate with a central node and see how a “many to one” Bluetooth LE network can be created.\n\n** Notes: \n\nParticipants will use their own machines for the hands-on portion\, and they will get to walk away with the Infineon AIROC CYW20829 Bluetooth LE 5.4 MCU Evaluation Kit.\nSome (minimal) pre-work is needed to make the best use of the time allotted. An email will be sent to registrants prior to the event with further instructions.\nSpace is limited to 50 participants.\n\nHow to Register: Pre-registration is required.

Come meet the developers\, engage in conversations\, and enjoy a casual and friendly environment. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out\, seize this perfect opportunity to network\, ask questions\, and gain insights into the Zephyr project. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \n2:30 pm – 2:55 pm: Power to the People – Technology for Access to Energy – Vivien Barnier & Martin Jäger \nThe world has made great progress in providing everyone with access to energy; however\, recently\, the number of unelectrified people on Earth has increased. Providing access to energy is a critical and complex challenge as most unelectrified people live in extremely remote and hard-to-reach areas\, often having limited mobile network connectivity\, unknown (future) demand patterns\, and extreme weather conditions combined with very low purchasing power of the affected population. The power of Open Source is still completely underrepresented in technological innovations in this sector. We are working towards improving this situation and will showcase one of our flagship examples: An Open Source Battery Management System (BMS) specifically developed for off-grid energy application. Energy storage and its related technologies are key to any off-grid energy application and the Libre Solar BMS has been specially developed for this use case. We will deep dive into the design decisions and features\, covering hardware\, firmware and an app. The BMS was developed leveraging solely open source tools: The PCB is designed in KiCad\, the firmware runs on Zephyr RTOS and the communication interfaces use the ThingSet protocol over various lower layers like Serial\, CAN\, WebSocket or MQTT. The hardware went through three design iterations and has been lab and field-tested by several organizations. We will conclude and show why this kind of Open Source technology is of such great importance to bring power to the people in both the sense of bringing electricity literally and also creating the grounds for local value creation in the affected geographies. We invite the whole Energy Open Source community to contribute with their efforts to where the contributions can be most impactful on various levels. The Open Source BMS is one great piece\, but we need much more of those. \n2:30 pm – 2:55 pm: How open source projects approach Functional Safety – Nicole Pappler & Philipp Ahmann \nOpen Source is a winning solution for many industries already – and now even safety critical applications want to make use of it. While “security” is a capability of open source since many years\, a few years ago using open source in safety critical applications seemed to be impossible even to think about. Nowadays it has become a valid option for upcoming applications. This kind of application that should save lives\, or at least not harm anyone. However\, with advancements in technology and safety integrity standards\, open source is becoming a valid option for upcoming safety critical applications. This talk will provide an overview of how open source projects approach their integration to safety critical applications. Depending on the expectations of these applications\, there are different solutions to address their needs. The talk will introduce example projects such as ELISA\, the Zephyr Project\, and the Xen Project\, which are currently addressing these expectations with various mechanisms and approaches. \n4 – 4:25 pm: Zephyr and RISC-V: I Ain’t Afraid Of No Ghosts – Mohammed Billoo \nRISC-V’s instruction set architecture (ISA) has enabled seasoned embedded software engineers to experiment with FPGAs since numerous open-source RISC-V cores can be flashed onto an FPGA. The Zephyr Project is rapidly emerging as a leading real-time operating system (RTOS). Zephyr integrates open-source and security best practices to ensure a vendor-neutral\, secure\, and reliable platform. \nIn this talk\, Mohammed Billoo will describe the process of getting to Zephyr to run on the UPduino (https://tinyvision.ai/pages/the-upduino)\, flashed with the neorv32 RISC-V processor (https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32). He will walk through building and flashing the neorv32 RISC-V core on the FPGA\, creating a Zephyr application that can output Hello World to the UART\, and loading the application to the FPGA. Mohammed will also walk through the necessary Zephyr drivers to get the application running. This talk will demonstrate how combining RISC-V and Zephyr on an FPGA opens up new opportunities for embedded software applications. Using open-source software and firmware on a low-cost FPGA reduces the bar for entry for enthusiasts and hobbyists. The audience will learn the following in this talk: \n\nRelevance of the RISC-V instruction set architecture for hobbyists\nOverview and structure of the neorv32 RISC-V processor\nOverview and structure of The Zephyr Project RTOS\nRISC-V support in Zephyr\nRelevant Zephyr drivers\nDemo: From Empty Silicon To Zephyr Boot\n\n5-5:25 pm: From an artificial nose weekend hack to a future-proof IoT device – Benjamin Cabe \nIt was a long weekend in May 2020. Like many of my human siblings stuck at home with time on their hands due to an ongoing pandemic\, I was busy trying to perfect my bread recipe. Fast forward to a few hours later\, I had assembled an Arduino-based “artificial nose” that used a gas sensor and AI (so-called TinyML) to learn and detect scents (hence potentially the smell of a perfectly fermented sourdough starter). As I open-sourced and started to share the project on social media\, it went viral… and I felt like an impostor\, as most of the code powering it was\, frankly\, hackish. Or maybe it wasn’t\, as it had the merit of having helped me invent something new\, in literally a few hours. \nIn this talk I will walk you through some of the key features of the artificial nose\, and how I eventually rewrote my original code to leverage Zephyr (an open-source real-time operating system) in order to make it easier for myself and the community to extend the project\, and run it on a variety of hardware targets. \nYou will learn\, among other things: * How to move from a complex “super loop” to well architected threads and event-based programming ; * How to run TinyML models (ex. TensorFlow Lite) while not compromising the rest of your embedded system ; * How to build an efficient and easy-to-maintain graphical user interface ; * How to leverage Zephyr hardware-abstraction layer. \nAll the code and demonstrations shown in the talk is open source and available on GitHub\, and you are very much encouraged to go ahead and build your own artificial nose after the presentation! \nSunday\, February 4:\n12:30 – 1 pm: Application of the SPDX Safety Profile in the Safety Scope of the Zephyr Project – Nicole Pappler\, Stanislav Pankevich \nCreating and maintaining a safety critical project comes with a lot of challenges. One central issue is keeping your documentation\, starting from planning and guideline documents\, down to requirements\, safety analysis\, reviews and tests\, consistent and up to date. These project artefacts often have their own lifecycle and are natively managed in different tools\, with usually great traceability capabilities regarding dependencies between these artefacts as long as you stay within one tool or within a (usually propriety) tool family of one single tool vendor. Currently the resulting traceability gaps between these tools are handled either by the popular engineering tools like MS Excel or methods like “search for identical names”\, depending highly on manual maintenance. Using SPDX relationships\, the upcoming Safety Profile in SPDX 3.1 will provide a model to represent all these dependencies as a knowledge model that can be used both to analyse possible impacts after a change (be it because of a security update or functional variants of your product)\, provide evidence of completeness and compliance as a Safety SBOM or simply keep track of your product variants. In this talk we will provide both an introduction to the SPDX Safety Profile as well as a real life example using StrictDoc and the Zephyr Project’s Functional Safety scope. \nCheck out the complete schedule and dev rooms like SBOM\, Embedded\, Automotive and more. https://fosdem.org/2024/[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
