Getting Started with Zephyr RTOS
Discover the power of Zephyr RTOS in our comprehensive webinar. We explore its architecture, key features, and practical applications for IoT and embedded systems, presented by an expert from the Linux Foundation.
Don't miss our latest, in-depth webinar on Zephyr. If you're new to RTOS like I am, this outstanding presentation is a must-see. You'll discover Zephyr's key features, its architecture, examples of supported platforms, and a comprehensive startup guide. Let's dive in!
The webinar presented by Benjamin Cabé from the Linux Foundation and Clemens Valens from Elektor focuses on the Zephyr Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), emphasizing its role as a hardware-agnostic, open-source solution for embedded applications with limited resources. The presentation details Zephyr's capability to run on various architectures, including ARM Cortex M, Tensilica Xtensa, and RISC-V. The webinar introduces the Zephyr project, highlights its community under the Linux Foundation, and demonstrates its potential through a series of features and live coding examples.
The practical demonstrations include setting up a basic “Hello World” application, manipulating GPIO pins, and utilizing Zephyr’s shell for debugging and system interaction. These demos illustrate how Zephyr supports complex functionalities with minimal setup, allowing for real-time sensor data handling and graphical user interface integration via libraries like LVGL. All in all, the video shows the capabilities of Zephyr as a comprehensive development environment that’s particularly suited for IoT and battery-powered devices. Last but not least, don’t miss the very interesting interactive Q&A session at the end! Watch the video below:

The Power of Zephyr
During the video, Benjamin demonstrates several features of Zephyr, showcasing its ease of use and adaptability. He highlights the integration of Zephyr with the hardware, using tools like devicetree and Kconfig which aid to configure the application.. These tools enable developers to efficiently port applications across different hardware, addressing common challenges in embedded system development. Additionally, the use of the “west” tool, a kind of swiss-army-knife command-line tool for Zephyr, is shown for managing dependencies, building, and testing applications which streamlines the development process.The practical demonstrations include setting up a basic “Hello World” application, manipulating GPIO pins, and utilizing Zephyr’s shell for debugging and system interaction.
