Description
Zephyr RTOS is a modern, open-source real-time operating system designed for embedded and IoT applications that require reliability, scalability, and low power consumption.This course, Master Zephyr RTOS: From Fundamentals to Real-Time Embedded Systems, is designed to take you from the basics of RTOS concepts to confident intermediate-level development using Zephyr.You'll start by learning what a real-time operating system is, how it differs from bare-metal programming, and why Zephyr is gaining popularity in modern embedded systems. The course then moves into hands-on development, where you'll install the Zephyr SDK, set up the build environment, and run your first applications on real hardware.Throughout the course, you'll work with essential Zephyr concepts such as Devicetree, Kconfig, project configuration, and the west build system. You'll learn how to create and manage threads, understand scheduling and timing behavior, and work with GPIO, interrupts, and kernel services.In the intermediate section, the course covers practical features used in real projects, including logging, shell, storage, sensors, debugging tools, power management, and custom board configuration.This course is ideal for:beginners who want to learn RTOS concepts using a modern platformembedded developers transitioning to Zephyr RTOSengineers working on IoT and real-time embedded systemsBy the end of this course, you'll be able to design, build, and debug reliable embedded applications using Zephyr RTOS with confidence.
