Learn Operating Systems Theory While Working with Zephyr
summary
Course materials present 14 lessons each planned for 90 minutes and focus on kernel internals, system calls, interrupt and user modes, thread creation and synchronization, memory and device management, and storage using Zephyr. Labs boot on qemu x86 and ARM boards with one config change, include sample solutions, live student beta testing, and a public GitLab repo. Exercises compile, run on emulation and hardware, and demonstrate concrete API usage and observable behavior.
