Zephyr RTOS as a role model in the operating systems theory education
summary
Zephyr replaces Arduino/Freertos in OS and IoT labs at two Czech universities, used for operating system theory, embedded prototyping and Internet of Things classes with STM32, NXP and M5 hardware; labs and examples are open source and Kconfig-based build system teaches real-world workflows. Key features: POSIX support, readable scheduler and driver model, and QEMU emulation for painless lab runs. One student boots and ports Zephyr to the M5Stack in two weeks (M5Stack ported in two weeks). Typical lab tasks take 90–180 minutes; recommend 1–2 weeks of ramp-up.
