Zbus 2030: Community-Driven Directions for Zbus
summary
Community survey collects 55 survey responses from June 7 to August 22 and shows most respondents are embedded software engineers using Zephyr for IoT, with ARM dominates and Zephyr 3.7 as the common start point; analysis code and cleaned data live in the linked repo and slides. Zbus lacks built protobuf channel generation but supports introspection via zview and asserts; RP message between cores and a UART example working demonstrate early multiprocessor/agent-proxy capability.
