In this talk, we will start with a primer on Nordic Semi as well as our SDK which is now Zephyr based. We will then move to a technical deep dive.
With the complexity of Zephyr comes new sets of design challenges that may seem obvious to overcome in bare metal, but not so much in Zephyr. We will dive into some unique problems, solutions, and features you can utilize in the Zephyr RTOS including but not limited to the build system, devicetree and debugging, and kernel execution order.
*About Teardown*
Teardown is a yearly event hosted by Crowd Supply that draws hackers, makers, and engineers from across the US (and the world) to meet together in Portland, Oregon. Teardown is about the practice of hardware: prototyping, manufacturing, testing, disassembling, and circumventing, all while having fun. Teardown attendees can expect lively talks, demos, art installations, hands-on workshops, fiendish puzzles, and lots of good food. Check it out! crowdsupply.com/teardown
