Supporting Hobbyist-Friendly Open Source Hardware in Zephyr

Explore the integration of hobbyist-friendly open-source hardware with the Zephyr operating system in this informative conference talk. Delve into the world of Arduino UNO R4 and Raspberry Pi Pico, examining their potential for use with Zephyr. Learn about the ongoing porting efforts for the UNO R4 board and discover the latest developments in Raspberry Pi Pico support, including the exciting Programmable I/O (PIO) feature. Gain insights into the role of "Shield" modules in the open hardware ecosystem and understand how Zephyr handles them as standardized connectors. Investigate the benefits and challenges of implementing connector systems in Zephyr, particularly for the Raspberry Pi Pico. Get introduced to the ArduinoCore for Zephyr project, which facilitates a smooth transition from simple Arduino sketches to more complex embedded system development. Finally, discover attractive and affordable RISC-V boards that offer a fresh perspective on chip support in Zephyr.
