Zephyr Project Member Companies & Demos
This year, Zephyr Project member companies will be showcasing their innovations at the Zephyr project booth as well as their own/partner companies booth. Each company will present a live demo, offering a firsthand look at how Zephyr is used in real-time applications.
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the demos:
MicroEJ:
MicroEJ experts will be there at the Zephyr Project booth presenting the Multi-App Energy Management Demo with Zephyr RTOS & VEE Energy.
Built on NXP’s FRDM-MCXN947 platform powered by Zephyr RTOS, this demo highlights real-time energy monitoring, metrology, and connectivity using the MicroEJ VEE Energy Kernel. It leverages the Hoka Web Server for dynamic app management while integrating MQTT protocols and Grafana dashboards for real-time data visualization.
The demo showcases real-time metrology, allowing users to start/stop simulated energy data and display readings on an embedded GUI. For cloud connectivity, metrology data is published via MQTT for remote monitoring. Users can also visualize real-time energy consumption through Grafana dashboards. Designed for smart meters, this solution is lightweight, secure, and scalable, powered by Zephyr RTOS and NXP FRDM-MCXN947.
It runs on Zephyr RTOS with the VEE Energy Kernel and supports standard protocols like MQTT, HTTP, and Web Services. The system is secure, scalable, cloud-ready, and supports remote management. This demo demonstrates how Zephyr RTOS & VEE Energy enable software-defined smart metering, delivering efficiency, security, and real-time intelligence.
Infineon:
Infineon will be at Hall 4A, Booth 138 and the Zephyr booth, showcasing Zephyr based BLE solutions with AIROC™ CYW20829. One demo will highlight Bluetooth LE advancements and real-world applications using Zephyr OS.
PAwR-based Sensor Network using Zephyr on AIROC(TM) CYW20829
This demonstrates the use of Zephyr OS on CYW20829, in this case to implement a many-to-one sensor network using the periodic advertising with response (PAwR) feature of BLE in Zephyr. The sensors will be placed around the booth or carried by people (in their pockets) on the IFX booth, with the central node being a CYW20829 EVK on the table.
Silicon: CYW20829
Hardware: CYW20829 EVK (central node), 10+ CYW20829 in plastic (sensors)
Software: Zephyr OS, Zephyr BLE Stack, PAwR code example
Ac6:
Ac6 is excited to announce the Zephyr Workbench for VS Code, a new extension that brings Zephyr development support to Visual Studio Code. This tool simplifies development with SDK management, a Project Wizard, build, and debugging features. Read more.
Ac6 will also showcase a Zephyr IoT wireless demo at the NXP Semiconductors booth.
This demo shows how Zephyr-based MQTT subscribers connect to a Linux broker and work together using Wi-Fi, sending and receiving data seamlessly. The Pi4 runs an MQTT broker, has a screen plugged in, and lets you use the Node-RED dashboard in a browser to display data and send commands. The STM32 B-L475E-IOT01A board, powered by Zephyr, sends temperature, accelerometer, and gyroscope data to the broker through Zephyr’s easy-to-set-up and reliable Wi-Fi and networking features. An NXP FRDM-RW612 board sends its temperature data as well. Plus, from the Node-RED dashboard, you can turn the LEDs on the FRDM-RW612 ON or OFF. Everything connects and runs smoothly right away.
