Simplifying Zephyr Usage Through Linux Host Integration

Explore six mechanisms for connecting peripheral devices to a Zephyr host and creating data/control connections through a Linux host on a private network in this 44-minute conference talk. Learn about Arduino code on Zephyr, Micropython on Zephyr, Linux userspace code over Greybus network-exported interfaces, Linux kernel driver usage over Greybus, native Zephyr drivers, and native Zephyr drivers with Greybus-based sensor transport. Examine the pros and cons of each approach to understand the importance of native Zephyr and Linux drivers in open source IoT development. Discover how tight integration between Linux and Zephyr can accelerate the introduction of new IoT devices. Gain insights into the benefits of Zephyr's device driver model, including over-the-air updates and built-in networking stacks, while comparing it to Arduino and Micropython code bases.
