 Hey, welcome to Embedded World 2020. I'm here right now at the Phytec booth and we've just come across a really cool demo that's using Zephyr. Zephyr is actually showing up here more at Embedded World this year than I've seen them before. Basically, we've got about over 600 developers working actively on Zephyr right now. My challenge at this Embedded World is figuring out where we actually can find Zephyr. I came across and was talking to Johan about what they're doing with Zephyr and it's super cool in the sense that most of it's upstream. Johan? I'm Johan Fischer. I'm working for Phytec and I'm Embedded System Developer and my job is to design hardware and software. So, what are we looking at here? So, it's a very simple demo based on Zephyr and we can see here a monochrome display and a sensor from ST Micro. It's a time-of-flight sensor to measure the distance to our object and it's a Bluetooth peripheral sampling sensor data and it's a Bluetooth central sample at just show the data from the sensor. Of the distance? Yes, that is the distance to the sensor. So, is everything upstream here? Yes, it's all open source. Yes, this sensor and display support is from the mainline Zephyr and yeah. What's happening with this e-ink display here? It's also supported by Zephyr and this is one example for customer project. It's a room information system, a replacement for the paper. What is this? This is some example project also for Zephyr. It's a thermopile array, sensor array and based on SoC from NXP, so running Zephyr. So how is it to work on the Zephyr solutions? It's good, it's very easy. For us it's very easy to work with Zephyr because most of our software developers work with Linux and it's very easy. If you are familiar with Linux build system and Linux ecosystem, it's very easy to switch to Zephyr because the building system is similar, two-chain is similar and the coding style is similar. Is it kind of like the Linux for embedded? I would say it's like Linux for low-power devices. It's good for devices where you cannot run Linux or use Linux and in that case, it's very easy to work with it. Hello, hi, I'm Theo Aldrich. I'm one of the Zephyr ambassadors here at Embedded World this year in 2020. Really excited to be demonstrating again the real board and the real board is incredibly special to me and to my career. I actually wrote my first lines of code on the real board and a lot of the development that I did initially when I was first getting started in IoT was focused around this and so the code samples and the amount of diversity that it allows for within the community is really making it a very powerful tool. So it's one of my favorite pieces of hardware at Embedded World. So how's the uptake of the market adoption for the Zephyr? You know, we're seeing huge adoption and right now one of the biggest problem and it's not really a problem, right? It's for us we considered an outreach opportunity is there is this tremendous amount of excitement and energy and use in Zephyr and it's really for us the challenge right now is harnessing it, being able to very quickly identify and bring those contributors and those users into our community because we think that that energy and excitement is really going to help us as we continue to grow and so we're actively searching for people that are using Zephyr in their products or starting to hack on it. So we can bring them in, hear what they like about it, what they don't and incorporate them into our ecosystem. And you are also working at... At Micro, yes, helping with business development. We're proud members of the Zephyr project. We've got a number of Zephyr powered solutions on display in our booth, but really wanted to come over to FI-Tech and promote something that's really special to the entire Zephyr community. The real board was actually conceived at Embedded World in 2018. What is this real board? What does it do? Sure, so the real board for me is a really great development board so that you're able to access Bluetooth, a lot of sensors, things of that nature that really, really give you a lot of options. So here at FI-Tech, you're making these? Yes. They have manufacturing and conveyance in Germany. So what are these here? All these different things? This is based on NF-52 and it's a regular module that we deliver with real board. This is the next one in prototyping phase. It's new Nordic NF-5340 and these two are available on request. We don't deliver it with a real board so for the customers, if they need to evaluate something, they can request. So what's the main idea of the real board? The main idea is to provide a really nice example that's easy to use board for sapphire. And with an e-ink display right there? Yes. And everybody can have a custom... So stuff happens when you click? This board is connected to a Bluetooth mesh and this message is transmitted to every real board for example here on the board.
