Introduction

Overview

TBD

What will you learn?

The goal of these sessions is to teach you the following:

• How to setup a modern containerized embedded systems development environment
• The basics of RISC-V firmware development
  • Focus will be on the OpenISA VEGAboard (RV32M1-VEGA) development board
• Simulating hardware using Renode
• The basics of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Zephyr
• If time permits, a quick tour of how the Rust programming language can be used for firmware development and its potential advantages

In the end, the hope is that you gain fundamental generalizable knowledge relating to the development of firmware for microcontroller-based systems.

Development board giveaways

In addition to the above, we’ll be giving away up to 30 VEGAboards for free to participants throughout the sessions. Make sure to attend!
