Zephyr Tech Talk #003 - Embedded CI on Steroids with Zephyr & Renode
2023-10-11 15:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Paris)
Tune in on Wednesday, Oct. 11 (9:00 AM EDT / 3:00 PM CEST) for a new Zephyr Tech Talk live stream!
In this episode, we will be chatting with Peter Zierhoffer from Antmicro.
We will be taking the topic of continuous integration that we covered in our first episode to the next level, and dive into Renode, an open-source simulation framework.
Renode makes it possible to simulate a wide variety of hardware components and network configurations, and we will explore how it can help with even the most challenging use-cases such as long-running tests, accurate sensor input, and time control. Peter will be showing us how to use Renode for the continuous integration of your Zephyr projects using Twister and the Robot Framework, as well as plenty other tips and demos around all things CI.
Zephyr Tech Talks are live streams organized by and for the Zephyr community. Join us live to get a chance to ask your questions directly to Bjarki, or simply catch up the recording anytime afterwards!

(EmbeddedOnlineConference.com Webinar) Getting Started with Zephyr RTOS
2023-11-29 08:00 - 09:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
On November 29 at 8 am PDT/11 am EDT, join Jacob Beningo and Mohammed Billoo, for a free webinar about “Getting Started with Zephyr RTOS.”
The Zephyr Project is rapidly emerging as a leading real-time operating system (RTOS). Commonly referred to as “Zephyr”, its vision is to be the premier RTOS for connected, resource-constrained devices. Zephyr integreates both open-source and security best practices to ensure a vendor-neutral, secure and reliable platform.
In this webinar, we delve into an introductory exploration of The Zephyr Project RTOS. Attendees will gain insight into the fundamental elements of an RTOS and and Zephyr’s implementation stands out. We will unpack the key components of Zephyr and offer a roadmap for getting comfortable navigating its codebase.
The session will discuss the intricacies of a Zephyr application, guiding attendees on how to craft their own application, using a “Hello World” application as a demonstration. Finally, we will discuss advanced topics, including how to gain in-depth insights into our firmware using the Memfault framework, which is built right into Zephyr.
Topics covered in this talk will include:

RTOS overview and review
The Zephyr Project architecture
The elements of a Zephyr application
Advanced “Hello World” demonstration
Firmware insights

(NXP Webinar) Designing for Low Power using Zephyr® Project: A Smartwatch Example
2023-12-12 08:00 - 09:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
In this NXP webinar on Tuesday, December 12 at 8-9 am PT, Derek Snell, Senior Systems Engineer, will share a wearable example application built on Zephyr® RTOS. This example is a power-optimized reference for battery-powered devices which leverages Zephyr’s power management subsystem, and uses the display driver to a MIPI™ smart wearable display.

Derek will detail the power-optimization techniques used within the Zephyr software and the i.MX RT500 crossover MCU. The smartwatch UI consists of professional LVGL graphics with multiple animated watch screens. The source code for the UI is generated using NXP’s GUI-Guider tool, and the example leverages GPU acceleration to offload the CPU. Engineers looking to design low power applications using the Zephyr RTOS will benefit from this session, regardless of end application.

Zephyr Tech Talk #008 - IPC in Zephyr: to Zbus, or not to Zbus?
2024-01-10 15:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Paris)
Tune in on Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2024 (9:00 AM EST / 3:00 PM CET) for a new Zephyr Tech Talk live stream!
As we enter the new year, we are having not one, but two guests on the show! There are many ways to implement inter-process communication (IPC) in Zephyr, and choosing the right one for your use case can be tricky. Are low-level kernel primitives to be preferred for their performance and footprint, or should you be using a higher-level abstraction like Zbus?
Rodrigo Peixoto and Bjarki Arge Andreasen will join Benjamin to debate the pros and cons of each approach. Rodrigo is the author of Zbus and will give us insight into the design decisions behind it and some of the use cases to which it best suits. Bjarki will advocate for some of the lower-level IPC mechanisms available in Zephyr and how it can sometimes be beneficial to use them to leverage the compiler and linker’s ability to check for type consistency, even if that might mean being less generic.
As always, it will be a lively discussion with you, the audience, and the hope is that we will answer the question posed in the Tech Talk’s title with more than the traditional: “it depends!”.

Zephyr Tech Talk #009 - Practical Tips to Build Secure & Observable Embedded Systems
2024-01-17 15:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Paris)
Tune in on Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2024 (9:00 AM EST / 3:00 PM CET) for a new Zephyr Tech Talk live stream, where Benjamin will be joined by Katarzyna Zalewska, Software Engineer at Sternum.
Zephyr is being used in a wide variety of applications where it is critical to be able to remotely observe and monitor the behavior of the device, in particular to detect and respond to security threats. In this talk, we will discuss some of the typical threats that IoT devices are facing, the current state of security in Zephyr, and how commercial security offerings such as Sternum’s can be used to enhance the security of Zephyr-based devices at runtime.
As always, we are planning on having lots of live demos, and leaving plenty of time for you to ask your questions live in our chat.

Are you considering using Zephyr RTOS on your next embedded system project?
Do you want to find out what Zephyr RTOS can do for you in practice?

Then start here…
The Zephyr RTOS has gained a lot of traction in recent years.
Zephyr is more than just a new RTOS “kid on the block” with a cool kite. It is a very modular, highly portable, real-time operating system with an associated eco-system to build secure, connected and future-proof devices.
But what does that really mean? And how does that help you with your product development? What are the actual challenges?
In this webinar, we will look at building Zephyr applications, what sets Zephyr apart from other traditional RTOSs/embedded OSs, and how Zephyr supports the development and expectations for connected embedded products. We will conclude by showing application examples on an NXP MCX N FRDM Development board with Percepio Tracealyzer.

How Zephyr became the leading open source RTOS for IoT
2025-07-02 15:00 - 16:00 UTC
Zephyr RTOS has rapidly grown into the most widely adopted open-source real-time operating system for secure, connected, and low-power embedded devices. Hosted by the Linux Foundation and backed by a vibrant community of contributors, Zephyr offers much more than an RTOS kernel—it’s a comprehensive, modular, portable, and scalable ecosystem trusted by thousands of developers around the world.
One of the earliest adopters and the top contributor to Zephyr, Nordic Semiconductor recognized the project’s potential back in 2016 and made the strategic decision to adopt it as the foundation for its nRF Connect SDK. That decision has enabled Nordic to deliver robust, production-grade software offerings across a wide portfolio of wireless SoCs, helping developers bring innovative wireless products to market faster.
Join Kate Stewart from the Linux Foundation along with Carles Cufi and Ali Aljaani for a behind-the-scenes look at Zephyr’s evolution, its growing role as an industry standard, and how Nordic contributes to the open-source community.
Agenda:

Is Zephyr just an RTOS? Understand how Zephyr is an ecosystem with drivers, protocols, middleware, tools, and security—all maintained under one cohesive project.
Zephyr 2016 vs. Today: Explore Zephyr’s major milestones, technical evolution, and its unprecedented adoption growth.
Why Nordic Chose Zephyr: Learn what sets Zephyr apart from other RTOS options and why Nordic decided to go all-in with Zephyr.
Inside nRF Connect SDK: See how Nordic built a complete SDK around Zephyr, integrating additional networking protocols, tools, and libraries to support its hardware platforms.
Nordic’s Contributions to Zephyr: Did you know that roughly a quarter of the contributions to Zephyr came from Nordic? Discover key contributions by Nordic to Zephyr—from the Bluetooth LE controller and USB stack to west tool, DFU frameworks, and more.
Getting Started with Zephyr-based software development: Access tools and resources to accelerate your development/onboarding journey—like nRF Connect for VS Code, Nordic Developer Academy, and more.
