Build advanced IoT and edge AI projects with Zephyr RTOS through 15 real-world, end-to-end examples.
Developers working in embedded systems face a constant challenge: creating devices that are robust, scalable, and production-ready while managing the complexity of modern connectivity and security. Zephyr RTOS provides a unified platform to meet these needs, but mastering it requires practical guidance beyond simple examples.
Zephyr RTOS Advanced Projects gives you that guidance. Through 15 hands-on projects, this book shows you how to design, implement, and validate embedded systems that integrate connectivity, security, AI, and fleet management at scale. Each chapter takes you from hardware bring-up through firmware implementation to deployment and observability, with detailed coverage of testing and pitfalls.
- Design BLE, Wi-Fi, cellular, LoRaWAN, Thread, and Matter based devices with Zephyr RTOS
- Implement secure boot, OTA updates, and fleet observability with Memfault and Twister
- Build edge AI projects including IMU gesture recognition, keyword spotting, and vision classification
- Deploy microTVM pipelines and CMSIS-NN inference on constrained hardware
- Use Zephyr subsystems effectively for networking, storage, security, and power management
- Benchmark and optimize throughput, latency, and energy consumption in real deployments
This is a code-heavy guide with complete, working examples. Each project includes real Zephyr configuration, C code, Devicetree, and Kconfig snippets so you can reproduce and extend the systems in your own hardware environment.
