Chris is the Head of Developer Relations and Hardware at Golioth. Focusing on hardware and developer relations at that software company means that he is trying to be in the shoes of a hardware or firmware developer using Golioth every day. He does that by building hardware and reference designs that Golioth customers can use to bootstrap their own designs.
Golioth introduced a new CircuitPython SDK to allow engineers to quickly prototype hardware that can talk to the Golioth cloud. By clicking "save" and having their CircuitPython recompile on the fly, they can try new hardware quickly and efficiently.
Troubleshooting high complexity systems like Zephyr requires more thorough tools. Menuconfig allows users to see the layers of their system and adjust settings without requiring a complete system recompilation. Zephyr expert Marcin shows how he uses this tool for troubleshooting.
In this early video about Golioth's firmware update capabilities, Alvaro and Chris walk through a firmware update going over Ethernet to an nRF52840 based board that has an MCUboot based bootloader.
