Description

This course is aimed at graduates of the Zephyr basic training or participants who have already taken their first steps with the Zephyr project and would like to deepen the knowledge they have already acquired. The Advanced course focuses on typical issues during the product life cycle of an embedded device. Starting with the development of initial prototypes, the incremental expansion of existing functionality and the implementation of firmware updates through to the mitigation of supply chain risks, participants will be shown how Zephyr can be optimally used for their own projects.

At the end of the 2-day course, participants will have set up their own downstream project and learned important organizational principles for an expandable and maintenance-friendly software design, including the creation of technical documentation. With the help of the possibilities offered by Zephyr, the test-driven design of typical features of an embedded application and their integration was practiced intensively.

 

Zephyr Member BadgeAs a member of the Zephyr Project, we are always close to the latest developments in the community. This commitment enables us to incorporate practical knowledge and best practices from first-hand experience into our Zephyr training courses.

Agenda

  • The Zephyr RTOS API
  • Best practices for downstream product development

Dr. Tobias Kästner

Dr. Tobias Kästner has been working with Zephyr since 2016 - in other words, since the project was presented to the public. Since then, he has implemented a wide variety of projects with this technology. From his experience with many teams, he knows that getting started with this topic is not easy and therefore, in addition to his project work, he also supports customers as a technical consultant and trainer during the introduction of Zephyr.

Certificate ISAQB Certified Professional for Software Architecture - Foundation Level
Andreas Kurz has been developing software for various embedded systems (mostly medical devices) since 2017—preferably very close to the hardware with real-time operating systems and microcontrollers. His hobby (electronic circuits) always comes into play when it comes to commissioning customers' hardware.

Our training approach

From the needs analysis to the awarding of certificates, we offer customized training courses, flexibly designed and carried out according to your requirements.

If you are interested in in-house training, we will start by identifying your needs and discussing your objectives. This discussion forms the basis for an initial offer.

As soon as the framework data has been clarified, our trainers start adapting the training content. Many of our training courses have a modular structure and offer the opportunity to design the agenda flexibly. Training courses that prepare for certifications, on the other hand, are less flexible. Here, however, you can set the content focus according to your wishes.

You will receive all relevant information in advance of the training. The training will then take place in the room of your choice and at the agreed time. Our trainers will adapt to your requirements.

After completing the training, all participants receive a certificate confirming their participation. You will also have the opportunity to give us feedback on the content and the course. We are always happy to receive praise and suggestions for improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Zephyr Advanced Training by inovex?
The Zephyr Advanced Training is a specialized program designed to deepen your understanding of the Zephyr RTOS (Real-Time Operating System). This training focuses on advanced features, configurations, and best practices for utilizing Zephyr in complex embedded systems, making it an essential step for anyone looking to master the Zephyr project. Participants will also learn about the Zephyr OS and how it integrates with various applications.
Who is the Zephyr Advanced Training suitable for?
This training is ideal for software developers, engineers, and technical team members who have a foundational knowledge of Zephyr RTOS and want to enhance their skills. Participants should be familiar with basic concepts of embedded systems and RTOS, as well as the Zephyr project getting started materials. Prior experience with Zephyr Git and Zephyr GitHub repositories will be beneficial for attendees.
What prior knowledge is helpful for the training?
Participants should have a basic familiarity with Zephyr and have already created their first small applications. Ideally, they should have already completed our Zephyr Basic Training.
What technical requirements are necessary?
Participants need their own laptop (Windows or Linux) with admin rights and at least one free USB port. Windows users are strongly recommended to use a virtual machine (VMWare, VirtualBox, no WSL) with Linux (e.g. Ubuntu 24.04).
What are the practical exercises carried out with?
The practical exercises are initially carried out using the participants' own laptops. For hardware-related programming, participants are given a board for the duration of the training. This is a readily available development kit that can be easily obtained from a retailer after the training if you are interested.
What topics are covered in the Zephyr Advanced Training?
The training covers a range of advanced topics, including but not limited to: - Advanced configuration of Zephyr RTOS - Customizing and extending Zephyr functionalities - Implementing complex device drivers - Utilizing advanced APIs for efficient resource management - Debugging techniques and performance optimization - Practical Zephyr RTOS examples to reinforce learning - Insights from the Zephyr documentation to support advanced usage
Will I receive a certification after completing the training?
Yes, upon successful completion of the Zephyr Advanced Training, participants will receive a certificate that acknowledges their advanced skills in using Zephyr RTOS. This certification can help in demonstrating proficiency in the Zephyr project and its applications.
How do the Zephyr Basic Training and the Zephyr Advanced Training differ?
The Zephyr Basic Training is tailored for newcomers and introduces essential concepts of the Zephyr project, including test management, creating test plans, and executing tests. No previous experience is needed. In contrast, the Zephyr Advanced Training targets individuals with foundational knowledge of Zephyr who wish to enhance their expertise. This training delves into advanced functionalities such as CI/CD integration, improved reporting capabilities, and best practices for effective test management. Prior familiarity with Zephyr is required for this course.
