'Free Zephyr Training: February 26th, 2025'

Golioth is returning to the training ground on February 26th, 2025 to help developers from around the world get started with Zephyr RTOS. Sign up today to take part.

Zephyr keeps evolving

We continue to train engineers on how to use Zephyr because the ecosystem keeps getting better and better. If you follow Zephyr DevRel Benjamin Cabe’s blog, you can get regular updates on new features and supported boards. The newly supported CH32V003 is waaaay too small to run a network stack and talk to Golioth, but it can implement RTOS functions and you can blink an LED. By the end of our Zephyr training, you’ll be able to span that same chasm of high-end network connectivity (on a different board, of course) all the way down to simple LED blinking in the RTOS. We continue to target the nRF7002-DK and nRF9160-DK as stalwart boards for networking a microcontroller via Wi-Fi or Cellular. You’ll start out by running Golioth-built binaries to test out connectivity and troubleshooting via the serial terminal, and then you’ll dive in and start building binaries for yourself. Along the way, the Golioth team will be there to support you and help answer your questions.  We also showcase other interesting things that can be done with Zephyr to keep you inspired on your learning journey. Want to take a peek at the curriculum? It’s online right now at training.golioth.io.

Golioth keeps evolving

Golioth continues to introduce new features and capabilities into the firmware SDK, which is cross platform, but has a great port for Zephyr. In the 0.17.0 release that came out last week, we introduced support for our soon-to-be generally available Location Service. With a few simple commands you can get your approximate location without needing to have GPS onboard. That’s pretty cool! But it doesn’t stop there. The SDK regularly gets updates and bugfixes to enhance your products and unlock new features on the cloud. Subscribe to the Golioth Newsletter to hear about our changelog of regular releases and also hear about future training opportunities.

Build a demo quickly

At Golioth, we continually train ourselves by trying out new applications and building new reference designs. We build on top of our own open source SDK and our Cloud infrastructure to ensure we know how to bootstrap new applications quickly. Join our training on February 26th, 2025 to start learning how to spin up your next IoT application using Zephyr and ready-built hardware.
