Explore Zephyr real-time operating system (RTOS) with its intriguing approach to hardware abstractions, code generation and firmware composition.

We'll quickly look at Zephyr's build system which is a combination established concepts:

  • West (python)
  • CMake
  • Kconfig
  • Device-Tree

After that we'll put together a basic audio application which will run a CMajor patch on a hardware development kit.
