Cyber ​​Resilience Act Summit
2025-10-13 - 2025-10-14
With the Cyber ​​Resilience Act (CRA), the European Union has established a minimum level of cybersecurity for all connected products. The CRA covers all products sold in the EU that contain “digital elements.” This includes the entire spectrum of embedded systems —from consumer electronics and household appliances to complex high-end industrial systems—if they can be connected to a network or even to another device.
The CRA has been in force since the end of 2024, and implementation must be completed in several steps by the end of 2027 at the latest. Embedded systems developers, as well as project managers and product managers, are therefore asking themselves: How do I proceed to ensure that my products meet the CRA requirements?
At the Markt&Technik CRA Summit, top-class speakers will demonstrate which strategies can be used to make embedded systems of varying complexity “CRA-safe.”
At the event, Zephyr Project’s functional safety expert Nicole Pappler will be giving a talk on “Preparing open source projects for the CRA”.
About the talk: With the entry into force of the EU Cyber ​​Resilience Act (CRA), manufacturers of connected products face new regulatory requirements for cybersecurity across the entire product lifecycle. The Zephyr project, an open-source real-time operating system (RTOS), addresses these requirements through targeted technical and organizational measures.
The key elements include:
Automated creation of software bills of materials (SBOMs) for transparent component tracking
Long-term security support (LTS) with regular vulnerability fixes
Integration into CVE award processes for structured security communication
Vendor-neutral governance and community-driven development that promotes industrial adoption
Zephyr thus provides a robust open source foundation for the development of secure, auditable, and CRA-compliant embedded systems.

Embedded Development With Rust on Zephyr - Rust Week 2026
2026-05-18 09:30 - 12:00
Joining RustWeek 2026? 🦀
David Brown, Senior Engineer at Linaro and Security Chair for the The Zephyr Project, will lead a workshop on Embedded Development With Rust on Zephyr.
The Zephyr RTOS is a mature operating system ecosystem, with support for over 900 boards, and numerous features. Recently, it has become possible to develop applications in Rust running on Zephyr. There are a lot of pieces involved in doing this, both in setting up a development environment for Zephyr, configuring and building Zephyr, as well as integrating this with a Rust application.
This workshop will begin with setting up a Zephyr development environment, as well as a general overview of how Zephyr works, from directory layout, configuration, building and such. The goal will be to run a basic C hello world program on Zephyr. We will then move on to running a Rust application, covering the additional configuration, along with how Zephyr’s build system and cargo interact. This will end with a similar basic Rust hello world program running on the same target.
We will then move to more advanced areas of the parts of the Zephyr API that are currently exposed to Rust. The result of this will be a small multi-threaded program with interacting threads.
As the Zephyr API surface is large, and the Rust work is still in its early stages, we will cover how to safely use parts of the C API directly from Rust. This will include some of the common gotchas of this approach. Lastly, we will cover what is needed to make Rust-friendly interfaces to new parts of the Zephyr API, with the goal of hoping to bring more contributions to the project.
There will be an overview of the various tradeoffs between different modes of developing Rust programs on embedded devices, including bare metal, a “thin” platform, such as Embassy, or RTIC, and a richer RTOS interface, such as Rust on Zephyr.
Prerequisites:

A laptop setup for Rust development. The course will focus on Mac or Linux machines. WSL2 might work, but there are challenges to accessing the hardware that will have to be done manually.
The https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/getting_started/index.html guide should be followed to setup the laptop to build and run Zephyr projects. Although we will cover this process, and assist where there are issues, following these directions before the workshop will allow more time to be spent on the Rust on Zephyr specifics. The participant should be able to run the hello world example on the qemu_x86 target.
A Nordic ABCxyz board (provided)
An available USB port
A basic working knowledge of Rust programming in a desktop environment. You should be familiar with Cargo.toml and have written some Rust code.
Knowledge of embedded or microcontroller programming

Grid operators have to deliver affordable, reliable, safe, clean energy, and they need digital infrastructure to do it. Across the sector, utilities and vendors are increasingly turning to open source as the proven way to co-develop the shared, non-competitive building blocks required to modernize the grid faster, at lower cost, and without dependence on single-vendor roadmaps.
LF Energy Summit Europe convenes utilities, grid operators, technology vendors, energy companies, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to showcase how open source is being used today to build production-grade digital infrastructure for energy systems. The event highlights recent project developments, emerging innovations, and practical lessons from organizations shipping real code, not just ideas.
Attendees will gain insight from leading experts and practitioners into best practices, tools, and technologies; learn how to participate in and scale open source communities; and connect directly with the peers and leaders who are developing the digital grid together.
If you are working with Zephyr RTOS in energy-related use cases, this is a great opportunity to join the conversation—submit a talk proposal and share your insights with the community.
Submit your talk proposals soon. CFP Closes on Monday 25 May at 11:59 PM CEST (UTC+2) / 2:59 PM PDT (UTC-7)
