Episode Summary
- Build There, Flash Here: A handy remote build / local flash script makes it easier to build Zephyr firmware on a beefier machine and flash it from the computer physically connected to the board.
- Zephyr-Native Meshtastic: A new Zephyr-native Meshtastic stack explores LoRa messaging, Protobuf, GNSS, sensors, display support, and MQTT without relying on the existing Meshtastic firmware codebase.
minmax.hCleanup: A newminmax.hcleanup continues the work around lowercasemin/maxhelpers and makes the API more consistent.- Devicetree Min/Max Constraints: Min/max constraints for devicetree bindings add a cleaner way for bindings to express valid numeric ranges.
- BCM2711 Mailbox Controller: A new BCM2711 mailbox controller driver improves Raspberry Pi support by exposing the firmware mailbox interface.
nsim_mountHost Filesystem:nsim_mountadds a native_sim filesystem backend for mounting host directories directly into Zephyr applications.- DALI Lighting Subsystem: A new DALI lighting subsystem brings support for the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface, useful for building and industrial lighting control.
- Devicetree Bus Helper:
DT_DESCENDANT_NUM_ON_BUSadds a helper for counting devicetree descendants on a given bus. - Haptics Drivers: New haptics support lands for the CS40L26/27 and the Titan Micro TM6605, expanding Zephyr’s support for LRA-based tactile feedback.
- LP586x LED Driver: The LP586x I2C LED driver adds support for another family of multi-channel LED matrix controllers.
- New Boards: New and updated hardware support includes the Arduino Nesso N1, Wio Tracker L1, W6100-EVB-Pico2, and KC868-A8.
- Zephyr Developer Survey: The Zephyr Developer Survey 2026 is open, giving the community a chance to share feedback on how they use Zephyr and where the project should improve.
- Upcoming Meetups: Several Zephyr community meetups are coming up, with more opportunities to meet other developers, share projects, and discuss what is happening across the ecosystem.
