Golioth’s Zephyr Training in a Nutshell

Golioth is an instant IoT Cloud for microcontroller-level devices. We are hardware agnostic, and we use Zephyr, the fastest growing RTOS, because it supports a wide range of hardware from different vendors. We have a number of customers who ask where to find Zephyr training, so we developed our own boot camp to get you started.

This three-hour training uses your choice of the Nordic nRF7002 DK (WiFi) or nRF9160 DK (Cellular). We begin by installing the Nordic tools on your local machine for loading new firmware on the boards. Everything else happens in a browser-based container. You’ll use VS Code and the Zephyr build environment, but it’s already set up for you to start working quickly.

Two sections are presented. We first load a pre-compiled binary on the board and test out the Golioth platform features. This ensures you are able to successfully program the board, and exposes you to the Zephyr networking stack, serial shell (used to assign credentials which are loaded into non-volatile storage), and logging system. The second portion of the training provides an overview of how the Zephyr development environment works before getting hands-on with Devicetree, Kconfig, pin mapping, timers, threads, and general RTOS knowledge.

You will come away with an understanding of how a Zephyr application is formatted, how the build system works, and what to expect when your application is running on your board.

Our training is no secret, the self-guiding documentation and the sample code are both available to peruse right now. However, you’ll find the interaction with other attendees and with the Golioth staff running the training fills in a lot of knowledge that’s not so easy to print on a webpage.
