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.

Trainers

Our trainers are field-tested experts in their areas of expertise. Through their work in projects, they expand their knowledge day by day and pass on this know-how in their trainings - application-oriented and practice-oriented.

Dr. Tobias Kästner

Dr. Tobias Kästner has been working with Zephyr since 2016—that is, since the project was unveiled to the public. Since then, he has implemented a wide variety of projects using this technology and was elected Safety Architect by the Zephyr Project’s Safety Committee. Based on his experience working with many teams, he knows that getting started with this topic isn’t exactly easy; therefore, in addition to his project work, he also supports clients as a technical consultant and trainer during the implementation of Zephyr.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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.

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.
