Inhaltsangabe

Build portable, production grade firmware with Zephyr RTOS across ARM Cortex-M, ESP32, and Nordic nRF, using professional drivers, secure networking, and tested release workflows.

Many embedded guides stop at a blinking LED or a demo that works once. Shipping firmware needs clean configuration, reliable drivers, secure connectivity, and a repeatable path from unit tests to field rollouts.

This book shows a practical, end to end approach. You configure Kconfig and Devicetree for real boards, write drivers that pass code review, bring up networking with TLS, and ship images with a rollback plan. Every step maps to working code and proven workflows.

• Set up a reproducible workspace with West, Zephyr SDK, and per board toolchains
• Structure Kconfig (prj conf, overlays, fragments) for clear feature control
• Use Devicetree correctly (nodes, compatibles, instance macros, pinctrl states)
• Write professional device drivers, out of tree bindings, Kconfig, and CMake glue
• Apply Sensors API patterns, triggers, sampling control, and power states
• Build robust I2C, SPI, UART flows with timeouts, errors, and DMA for throughput
• Enable logging, shell, and tracing to debug real faults, not just demos
• Partition flash, NVS settings, LittleFS and FATFS, integrity and recovery
• Integrate MCUboot and sysbuild, sign images, version properly, and plan rollback
• Use TF M and PSA Crypto for key storage and secure services where supported
• Manage devices with MCUmgr, including serial recovery and multi transport DFU
• Bring up IPv4 and IPv6, DHCP, DNS, and BSD sockets with Zephyr specifics
• Provision certificates, secure sockets, and sec tags for TLS backed MQTT
• Build HTTP and CoAP clients with retries and timeouts for stable cloud links
• Measure with the network shell and zperf, then tune buffers and socket limits
• Implement BLE GAP and GATT on nRF52 and ESP32, bonding, security, throughput
• Deliver DFU over BLE with MCUmgr, and test on real kits
• Run 802.15.4 and Thread, OpenThread CLI, border router basics, and interop tests
• Serve CoAP resources and run an LwM2M client on Thread for device management
• Use ztest and Twister across native posix, QEMU, and boards with coverage
• Stand up hardware in the loop runners and gather useful failure logs
• Produce reproducible builds, SPDX SBOMs, and license checks suitable for release
• Operate in the field with telemetry, crash dumps, staged rollouts, and safe rollback

This is a code heavy guide. Each chapter includes working, labeled snippets in C, C++, YAML, JSON, Kconfig, and Shell that you can compile, flash, and extend on ESP32 and Nordic development kits.
