The explosive growth of The Zephyr Project RTOS has resulted in Zephyr supporting close to 850 boards and 200 shields. However, one of the challenges that any embedded software engineer faces is customizing their application for the hardware used in their commercial product. The same challenge exists for Zephyr as well.

In this talk, Mohammed will demonstrate some personal best practices he applies when creating a Zephyr application for custom hardware. His talk will cover the following topics:

• Migrating away from development boards
• Leveraging existing boards in Zephyr for minor tweaks
• Creating entirely new boards in Zephyr for major projects
• Strategies for new board creation
• Upstream considerations
