Description
This workshop introduces participants to the Zephyr Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and its key advantages for modern embedded-system development. Participants will set up and configure the Zephyr development environment, gain practical familiarity with the West build tool, and learn the complete workflow for building, flashing, and executing a Zephyr application on supported hardware. Through a hands-on GPIO programming exercise, attendees will also use Zephyr’s GPIO API to control an LED, establishing a foundation for developing reliable, portable, and scalable embedded applications using Zephyr RTOS.
