The Quest for Supply Chain Resilience

by Akarshan Kapoor

This talk is an update to the Pump Monitor, introduced at the Zephyr Summit 2023. The requirements for supply chain resilience in software components encourage the use of Open Source software for all system components. It is essential to avoid the risks associated with relying on a particular cloud provider, especially in scenarios where the provider might cease operations or discontinue support.

Building a wireless wastewater monitoring system using Zephyr RTOS nodes

by Oliver Völckers

BeST Berliner Sensortechnik GmbH of Berlin, Germany, used Zephyr RTOS to develop and deploy pump monitors for Deutsche Bahn to monitor waste water tanks on high-speed trains. Measurement data from sensors is processed locally in IoT devices running Zephyr RTOS. The results are then wirelessly transmitted for further processing using MQTT or LwM2M protocols. The talk will describe the evolution from individual IoT nodes to an automated networked system that provides a real-time overview of operations.

Zephyr in Action: Real-World Product Development - Interactive workshop

by Jonas Remmert

After providing foundational knowledge of Zephyr, this workshop will show interactively how to set up a development environment and configure an out-of-tree example with Zephyr. In addition, it will cover topics like board abstractions, RTOS features and higher layer software subsystems such as the Sensor API, BLE stack and the networking stack. With hands-on practices along with simulations in a GitHub Codespaces Environment, participants can get their hands on Zephyr without actual hardware.



The event was supported by Canonical, sponsor of the Linux distribution Ubuntu.
