title: "Join Us at the Zephyr Project Meetup in Amsterdam"
description: "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."

**Type:** Announcement

## 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.

## Context

The meetup is intended to bring the Zephyr community together to learn from people working with Zephyr, exchange practical experience, and help shape the ecosystem. It is aimed at experienced contributors, embedded developers exploring Zephyr, and people interested in open-source and connected devices.

## Approach / What changed

The event uses presentations, demonstrations, a quiz, development-board giveaways, and networking. Its agenda covers JetBrains’ work with Zephyr, AFL and Renode-based firmware fuzzing, AI-assisted project setup, and a migration from bare-metal and FreeRTOS code to a shared Zephyr codebase for Renesas, STM32, and Nordic hardware.

## Takeaways

- AFL and the Renode simulator can be used to fuzz Zephyr firmware without physical hardware and uncover difficult-to-detect failures.
- Schematik will demonstrate AI-assisted Zephyr project setup, including environment configuration, compilation, flashing, and running an application on a board.
- A medical simulation platform migrated from bare-metal and FreeRTOS code to a shared Zephyr codebase targeting Renesas, STM32, and Nordic hardware.
