Zephyr Project Meetup (March 18, 2026) - Jena, Germany
2026-03-18 17:30 - 21:00
Meet Zephyr – Moderne MCU-Applikationen am Beispiel des CAN Bus
Von Zephyr zu CANnectivity – eine Safari durch moderne Werkzeugketten.
Im Rahmen unseres nächsten Meetups in Jena – einem weiteren Hands-on-Workshop – nehmen wir dich mit auf eine Reise durch Beispiele, Tests und fertige Applikationen aus dem Makrokosmos rund um das „Zephyr RTOS Project“. Aus den unzähligen Zephyr Treiber APIs und Subsystemen werden wir uns an diesem Abend intensiver mit der bestehenden CAN-Bus Implementierung beschäftigen. Fokus wird dabei auf der konsequenten Nutzung der vorhandenen Hardware-gnostischen Software und deren Architektur liegen – nicht nur von Zephyr, sondern auch der noch jungen, aber durchaus schon sehr prominenten Zephyr Downstream Applikation „CANnectivity”.
Auch dieses Mal arbeiten wir nur minimal im Editor. Stattdessen analysieren wir „guten” und „schlechten” Zephyr-Applikationscode, diskutieren bewährte Architektur- und Vorgehensmodelle und grenzen diese von weniger geeigneten Ansätzen ab. Darüber hinaus zeigen wir, wie Zephyr als Technologie zur Kostenoptimierung im Entwicklungsalltag beiträgt und wie mithilfe moderner Entwicklungswerkzeuge MCU-Software vollständig ohne konkrete Zielhardware entwickelt werden kann.
Tobias Kästner von der inovex GmbH aus Karlsruhe wird uns mit seinem Impulsvortrag das Konzept von „Zephyr Downstream” vorstellen und daran reflektiert einige freie Zephyr Applikationsprojekte (Produkte) bewerten – unter anderem auch „CANnectivity”.
Stephan Linz von der Navimatix GmbH aus Jena führt euch dann durch den praktischen Workshop. Ihr integriert dabei „CANnectivity” auf ein FRDM-MCXN947 Entwicklungsboard von NXP, baut dieses mit zusätzlichen Aufsteck-Boards um weitere CAN-Schnittstellen aus und lernt die einzelnen Integrationsschritte mit den bestehenden und immer gleichen Zephyr Werkzeugen, Beispielen und Tests abzusichern.
Der Abend wird mit einer kleinen Live-Demonstration enden. Dabei wird gezeigt, wie die am Abend genutzte Applikationssoftware in geeignete Simulations- und Emulationsumgebungen integriert und, zusammen mit realer Elektronik, diese auch zu Hybridaufbauten überführt werden kann.
Mehr details hier.

Testing and quality assurance in Zephyr RTOS - Meetup
2026-05-07 16:15 - 19:30
Zephyr RTOS is an open source operating system in the embedded world and is increasingly used in both industrial products and IoT devices. In this event, we will take a closer look at how to work systematically with testing and quality in Zephyr-based projects.
The lecture will, among other things, introduce Zephyr’s test frameworks, including ztest for unit tests and Twister for automated test execution.
Develco will demonstrate how to use hardware-in-the-loop testing, where Twister builds firmware, flashes it to a physical target and executes tests directly on the hardware. For this purpose, some hardware will be used, specifically for testing. Practical examples will be based on concrete Zephyr code and show how to structure test cases and automate validation of embedded functionality. Mjølner will share a real-life example of rapid product development with Zephyr, where Test-Driven Development is the driving force under unclear and constantly changing requirements.
There will be two 30-45 minute technical presentations – one hosted by Develco and one by Mjølner Informatics. There will be time for questions and networking with pizza afterwards. Henrik Brix Andersen, who sits on the Zephyr Technical Steering Committee and Architecture Working Group, will be present during the event and will be happy to take questions.
Target group
Embedded developers, firmware engineers and technically interested people who work with or want to work with Zephyr RTOS and modern testing methods in embedded systems.
Prerequisites
A certain technical level is a good prerequisite for this event, but everyone with an interest in embedded software and modern development tools is welcome. If you have specific issues or test scenarios you would like to have covered, please contact the organizer before the lecture.
Outcome
Participants will receive a practical introduction to Zephyr’s testing tools and an understanding of how to establish automated tests, both in software and directly on hardware, as a direct part of the development process.

Message from the host team:
Demant is very pleased to host this Zephyr Meetup and support the project and its fantastic community.
Demant has been a member of the Zephyr project since its early days in 2017 and we are using Zephyr extensively in embedded systems in our hearing instrument products. We have been particularly active within the Bluetooth implementation, using and contributing significantly to the BLE stack. We are continuously expanding our use of the Zephyr OS and see a bright future as part of this open-source project.
We look forward to seeing you in our headquarters near Copenhagen. It will be a pleasure to connect with other Zephyr developers and enthusiasts, exchange perspectives, and explore future applications of Zephyr in real-world contexts.
