Keynote: The Power of Consistency
summary
Argues that strict consistency across layers lets Zephyr support heterogeneous firmware on a single product without rewrites, enabling code reuse across x86 arc arm riscv cores and shared peripherals. Cites the Curie multi‑core example and the need to serve thousands of microcontrollers in diverse Intel hardware. Claims consistent interfaces and consistent APIs let teams swap ISAs or share IPs, and that the workflow — e.g. run build platform name then flash/debug — just works.
