Description
Hardly any other embedded firmware framework has attracted as much attention in the recent past as the Zephyr project. And there are many good reasons for this: First presented to the public as open source in 2016, it has now become one of the most innovative and productive embedded development frameworks. At its core, Zephyr is just another real-time operating system, but one that is enhanced by many powerful tools and technologies. As useful and powerful as these extensions are, they also mean that the learning curve can be extremely steep, especially for beginners. And this is where our training comes in. Together with our trainers, some of whom have been familiar with this technology since the early days of the project, participants embark on a guided tour. Short theoretical sections alternate with detailed tasks that provide participants with the necessary tools hands-on.
The optional 1-day preliminary course also provides the necessary basic knowledge of the most important software development tools that are essential when working with Zephyr.
At the end of the 2-day course, participants will have gained enough experience to be able to develop their own applications independently. And they will be well equipped to delve even deeper into this fascinating world with our Zephyr Advanced Training.
