In the previous articles, we used freestanding applications and relied on a global Zephyr installation. In this article, we’ll see how we can use West to resolve global dependencies by using workspace applications. We first explore West without even including Zephyr and then recreate the modified Blinky application from the previous article in a West workspace.

April marked the return of the Embedded Open-Source Summit, this year in Seattle. I was lucky enough to be able to attend and split my time between the Memfault booth in the exposition hall and many of the captivating presentations. Since the videos have just been published on the the Linux Foundation’s YouTube account, we thought it would be a good time to highlight some of the talks and give you a quick summary which will, hopefully, inspire you to go watch them!

NextJS is the hot JavaScript framework right now, and like all JavaScript, it can cause quite a few bugs on both the client- and server-side of your applications. One of the most powerful features of NextJS is enabling you to use your code, templates, and patterns across both the server and the client. NextJS will mostly figure out the most efficient place to run. This is super powerful and makes NextJS applications feel very fast compared to strictly client-side rendered applications.

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of traveling to Nuremberg, Germany to attend Embedded World. If you have not heard about it before, Embedded World1 is the largest trade show in the embedded systems industry. This year, over 35,000 people attended and 1,100 businesses exhibited at the Nuremberg Messe.

In the previous articles, we covered Devicetree in great detail: We’ve seen how we can create our own nodes, we’ve seen the supported property types, we know what bindings are, and we’ve seen how to access the Devicetree using Zephyr’s devicetree.h API. In this fifth article of the Practical Zephyr series, we’ll look at how Devicetree is used in practice by dissecting the Blinky application.
