TIL (aka when I forget again), to use a board variant in Zephyr, you can specify it as a west argument with '-DBOARD=rpi_pico/rp2040/w' or just '-b rpi_pico/rp2040/w' in the case of the Raspberry Pi Pico W!

I put together a blog post about using Blues Notecard for communication, with Zephyr's Message Queues. This Zephyr kernel object allows you to move data between threads and ISRs without requiring manual synchronization. Ready-to-go macros make it a easy to get started! dev.blues.io/blog/zephyr-...

@shawnhymel.bsky.social wrote a fantastic workshop on getting started with drivers in Zephyr RTOS. If I'd have had access to this when I was starting out, it would have saved me weeks of frustration. Thanks for putting together such a well thought out tutorial! github.com/ShawnHymel/w...

Bluesky friends, what's the quickest (fewest clicks) way to receive POST data into a local environment and then plot the data into a graph? I'm looking for ideally a docker container or something else that I can use for demos.

Excited to start playing the beta release! There are so many wonderful advantages to a Zephyr-powered Arduino future, including ecosystem overlaps. Imagine leveraging Zephyr's APIs for building standardised Arduino libraries. www.hackster.io/news/arduino...

Arduino Releases Its First Zephyr Cores, as It Makes the Move Away From Arm's Discontinued Mbed

While its hand may have been forced, Arduino promises big things from the move to Zephyr — including compilation time reductions.
