Flexboard: Developing Zephyr on a Keyboard That Runs It

Presented by: Daniel DeGrasse, Embedded Software Developer
Tuesday, April 16, 9:05-9:45 am PDT

Developers love mechanical keyboards—especially when their cube mates use one. In this talk, Daniel DeGrasse will cover the process of developing Flexboard, a mechanical keyboard based on Zephyr. The keyboard runs a customized fork of ZMK, a keyboard firmware based on Zephyr.

Clock Management in Zephyr RTOS

Presented by: Daniel DeGrasse, Embedded Software Developer at NXP
Wednesday, April 17, 2:55-3:35 pm PDT

Zephyr’s current clock control APIs offer APIs for querying and setting clock rates, as well as clock gating and configuration of clock roots. This talk proposes additions to the clock control API, which will enable transition between different clock states, allowing these devices to realize increased power savings without significant software overhead.

Zephyr Power Management for Wearable Devices

Presented by: Disha Patil, Field Application Engineer at NXP
Tuesday, April 16, 10:00-10:40 am PDT

Explore how to implement the Zephyr Power Management subsystem using a smartwatch demo application based on the NXP platform. This demo application highlights the use of the power management subsystem for both the device (SoC) and the system, along with other power optimization techniques for wearables.

How to Integrate My (Proprietary) Code in Zephyr

Presented by: Iuliana Prodan Software Engineer at NXP
Wednesday, April 17, 2:00-2:40 pm PDT

This session explains how to use a third-party static library within the Zephyr build system and explores how to build the external library using a different build system and include the built static library. Topics including changes needed to update an existing Zephyr application and how to create a new Zephyr application (update/create project configuration, use an architecture specific toolchain, etc.) will also be covered.
