Testing and quality assurance in Zephyr RTOS - Meetup
2026-05-07 16:15 - 19:30 UTC
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.

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

Open Source Summit: India 2026
2026-06-16 - 2026-06-17
Open Source Summit 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. It is the gathering place for open-source code and community contributors.
Open Source Summit is not a single-focus, niche event—it’s the big tent that unites the full spectrum of open source technologies and communities. Whether you work in cloud infrastructure, Linux kernel development, AI/ML, embedded systems, DevOps, security, or safety-critical systems, Open Source Summit offers a shared space to exchange ideas, make connections, and learn across domains. It’s where technologists who don’t typically land in the same room get a chance to collaborate.
At the same time, Open Source Summit brings in the leaders and practitioners who support the ecosystem from non-technical angles: open source program office (OSPO) staff, legal experts, policy advocates, standards organizations, equity champions, community managers, and foundation leaders. Together, they help shape the frameworks, culture, and strategy that make open source work.
This event serves as a strategic checkpoint for the open source movement. It’s where conversations happen about not only what’s being built—but how and why.

LF Energy Summit Europe 2026
2026-09-15 - 2026-09-16
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)
