Hands on Molding VS code into a care free development environment to develop with Zephyr RTOS - emBO

Developing for the next generation of devices at our company enabled us to use a lot of new technologies. One of the biggest sweeping changes to our stack has been the use of Zephyr RTOS for our embedded projects. Working in a team where most of the developers were inexperienced with Zephyr, yet also wishing to keep the mentality that anyone can work on any given topic, we as a team decided to strive for a working setup that is as care-free to set up and use for anyone.
Join me on this field report describing the essence of our development setup, ranging from Docker to CMake presets, getting custom setup steps for Zephyr seamlessly integrated, handling remote debugging and integrating unit tests as well as other helpful tools.
Jonas Nussdorfer is an Embedded Software Engineer at Leica Geosystems working on inertial measurement units (IMUs) which support measurements on surveying devices like GNSS antenna measuring poles. Originally he graduated with a master’s degree in theoretical physics at LFU Innsbruck, but soon realized that his true passion lies in developing software that is close to hardware.
This talk was part of emBO++ 2023 the embedded development conference in Bochum.
