Zephyr OS from Ground Up™

Learn the RTOS that top teams, semiconductor leaders, and global IoT innovators are adopting as the new standard for connected embedded systems.

Why Zephyr, Why Now

Zephyr is no longer “just another RTOS.” It is the fastest-growing open-source real-time operating system, developed under the Linux Foundation, with active contributions from Intel, NXP, STMicroelectronics, Google, Meta, Nordic Semiconductor, and other industry giants.

From wearables and medical devices to industrial automation and connected consumer electronics, Zephyr is rapidly becoming the go-to RTOS for teams building secure, scalable, and future-proof products. Its unique combination of modularity, Devicetree-based hardware abstraction, unified driver model, and built-in connectivity stacks is redefining how professional embedded software is written.

This course is your practical, step-by-step entry point into this ecosystem.

What You’ll Learn

By starting “from ground up,” you’ll gain a complete understanding of Zephyr’s environment, configuration system, and kernel, then apply it to develop drivers, and multithreaded systems, the kind of work top engineering teams are doing today.

• Zephyr Environment & Build System:
• Understand west, Kconfig, CMake, Devicetree, and Zephyr’s driver model — the backbone of every modern Zephyr project.

• RTOS & Multithreading Fundamentals: Create threads, configure priorities, enable timeslicing, and understand preemptive vs cooperative scheduling.

• Synchronization & Data Sharing: Master semaphores, mutexes (with priority inheritance), queues, and inter-thread data passage mechanisms.

• Peripheral Development (STM32-centric labs): Implement GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, INTERRUPTS, ADC etc— all in Zephyr’s portable, SoC-agnostic style.

• Practical Real-Time Applications: Combine drivers and kernel primitives into multi-threaded, time-sensitive applications that mirror real industry use cases.

• Portability in Action: Rebuild the exact same projects across different microcontrollers with only a small overlay change — proof of Zephyr’s unique portability.

You’ll learn each concept by writing code that builds and runs, immediately. Then we back it up with theory slides that explain not just what you typed, but why it works, tracing every line back to Zephyr docs, bindings, and the STM32 reference manual.

The result: real skill, not just surface exposure.

No prior Zephyr experience required.

Who This Course Is For

-Embedded engineers who want to get ahead of the Zephyr adoption curve.

-Teams and professionals preparing to build connected IoT devices that demand scalability, security, and enterprise-grade support.

By the End of This Course

-You’ll understand every moving part of the Zephyr ecosystem.

-You’ll have implemented the full suite of STM32 peripherals in Zephyr.

-You’ll be able to design multithreaded real-time applications with synchronization and data-passing primitives.

-You’ll know how to take any project you’d previously build with legacy RTOSes or bare-metal C, and develop it in Zephyr, taking advantage of its unique portability, configuration system, and Fortune-500-backed ecosystem.
