Agenda:
5:00 PM – 5:45 PM – Welcome drinks and snacks
5:45 PM – 6:00 PM – Welcome Note by Schneider Electric team
6:00 PM – 6:15 PM – From Zero to Zephyr: Getting Started with Zephyr Workbench in VS Code – Roy Jamil, Ac6
Explore how to set up Zephyr and get started with Visual Studio Code using Zephyr Workbench, a tool that streamlines the development process for Zephyr-based projects. Learn how to configure zephyr, manage SDKs, and leverage integrated commands for efficient and rapid building, debugging, and deployment.
6:15 PM – 6:30 PM – Zephyr unleashed: Mastering application portability across platforms – Nada Lakhal, NXP Semiconductors
This workshop explores Zephyr RTOS application portability, featuring NXP’s facial detection demo. We’ll showcase cross-platform adaptability, real-world examples, and key takeaways to optimize Zephyr-based application.
6:30 PM – 6:45 PM – Growing IoT with Open Source: Zephyr OS at Gardena – Marc Lasch, Husqvarna Group
In this presentation, I will discuss our journey and our current approach to maintaining a Zephyr-based platform, leveraging open source ecosystems and practices.
6:45 PM – 7:00 PM – Break time
7:00 PM – 7:15 PM – Gather 3 OS on same SOC : Linux, OP-Tee and Zephyr – damien HACKETT, SII / Schneider
In embedded systems we often need multi featured system : good drivers, lots of applications, cyber resilient , of course real time and still easy to use and debug.
To have this so-called “5-legged sheep” why can we combined… several sheeps ?
We will see how to create this full featured system by gathering advantages of several embedded OS on the same SoC.
7:15 PM – 7:45 PM – Zephyr as a Secure Choice for Embedded Development – Joel GUITTET, Witekio
- Introduction: Why Security Matters in Embedded Systems
- The rising need for secure embedded systems
- Key challenges: cybersecurity threats, scalability, IoT ecosystem vulnerabilities
- Overview of Zephyr RTOS
- Brief introduction to Zephyr’s architecture
- Supported hardware platforms and community-driven development
- Key features: modularity, scalability, open-source
- Security in Zephyr: A Deep Dive
- Native security features: secure boot, access control, and permissions
- Memory protection and role of kernel services in isolating tasks
- Integration with hardware-based security features (Trusted Execution Environments, etc.)
- Compliance with Security Standards
- How Zephyr addresses security certifications (e.g., PSA Certified, Functional Safety)
- Zephyr’s role in meeting regulatory frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO standards
- Use Cases: Zephyr in Real-World Secure Applications
- Examples of Zephyr in industries requiring high security: medical devices, IoT, and automotive
- Case study examples of secure, production-ready solutions with Zephyr
- Conclusion: Zephyr as a Future-Proof, Secure RTOS
- Long-term maintenance and security updates
7:45 PM – 8:00 PM – Industrial & Open-Source crossover – Cedric Lescop, Schneider Electric
Starting from an industrial need, let’s walk though a new Zephyr functionality. LLEXT is a new subsystem providing the ability to load and execute an ELF file at runtime without re-flashing your base firmware, thus dynamically extend it.
This mechanism will completely rethink any firmware update and runtime behavior. Let’s have a technical look!
8:00 PM – 8:15 PM – Zephyr v4.1: Status of support on STM32 – Erwan GOURIOU, STMicroelectronics
How STM32 is supported on Zephyr with Zephyr recent release, how ST team is collaborating with community to enhance the support.
8:15 PM – 8:30 PM
Thank you note – Schneider Electric team
During this session, a quiz will be conducted where the winners will receive free boards sponsored by NXP Semiconductors, Nordic Semiconductor and STMicroelectronics.
8:30 pm – 9:00 pm – Networking time
