Past talks:
Zephyr Tools To Debug Hardware
Status: Available NowThere are many less known subsystems within Zephyr (the popular open source RTOS and ecosystem) that can help hardware and firmware teams bring up their new custom hardware designs. This talk will be a selection of these tools and pointers on how to get started within the ecosystem. This is a good talk for beginner to intermediate embedded engineers, including hardware engineers who are looking to do more firmware development (like I was!).
Improve your Embedded IoT Hardware Today
Status: Available NowWe all want to build hardware that is bulletproof on the first rev. I can't promise you that, but I know how to add in hooks and capabilities that make troubleshooting, upgrading, and measuring deficiencies much easier. Your second rev will be leaps and bounds ahead of your first, and you can get to market faster.
This talk will showcase components, tools, and troubleshooting methods that enable better hardware, regardless of the parts you choose or the form factor you need to fit into. This talk will also feature some recently created hardware that focused on modularity and flexbility, as it was not targeted at a production environment; this could form the basis of a good “rev a” build of hardware and help engineers to focus on validating new product ideas before digging into more complex layouts and smaller form factors.
