Join Us at the Zephyr Project Meetup in Amsterdam

Summary

The Zephyr community will meet in person at JetBrains Amsterdam on September 15, 2026, for a free evening focused on the open-source real-time operating system for resource-constrained and connected devices. The meetup brings together contributors, embedded developers, and others to exchange practical experience and discuss the ecosystem through talks on developer tooling, firmware testing, AI-assisted development, migration, and education. One session will show how AFL and the Renode simulator can fuzz Zephyr firmware without physical hardware, while another presents AI-assisted setup from environment configuration through compiling, flashing, and running an application on a board. The agenda also covers JetBrains’ collaboration with Zephyr and a migration from bare-metal and FreeRTOS code to a shared codebase targeting Renesas, STM32, and Nordic hardware. Registration is required, seats are limited, and presentations will be in English and Dutch.

Takeaways

1. 1

   AFL and the Renode simulator can be used to fuzz Zephyr firmware without physical hardware and uncover difficult-to-detect failures.

2. 2

   Schematik will demonstrate AI-assisted Zephyr project setup, including environment configuration, compilation, flashing, and running an application on a board.

3. 3

   A medical simulation platform migrated from bare-metal and FreeRTOS code to a shared Zephyr codebase targeting Renesas, STM32, and Nordic hardware.
