BoF: Meet the Zephyr Community
summary
Zephyr is already running on boards from Raspberry Pi Pico up to soft‑core CPUs on FPGAs; teams report 100,000+ upstream commits and say the new west k command and shortened getting‑started guide let a beginner run blinky with copy‑paste. Work is underway for M5Stack support in progress and completed SPI APIs plus a microblocks port. Actual builds include a CubeSat board, a moon rover, a Fukushima humanoid robot and an FPGA soft‑core that reads DAC/ADC for a quantum fridge; main blockers are device drivers, safety certification and traceability.
