Developing Zephyr on a Mechanical Keyboard - Flexboard Project

Explore the development process of Flexboard, a mechanical keyboard based on Zephyr, in this 33-minute conference talk by Daniel DeGrasse from NXP. Dive into the customized fork of ZMK, a Zephyr-based keyboard firmware, featuring per-LED backlight control and dynamic keymap reloading. Learn about bringing up the board and MCU in Zephyr, porting ZMK to the keyboard, and extending ZMK with an additional USB endpoint for dynamic configuration. Gain insights into the considerations made when developing a product versus upstreaming directly, including the need for a downstream fork.
