Zephyr RTOS Engineering (Paperback)

Paperback. Your Zephyr application builds. It runs on the board. But is it actually ready for production?Getting firmware to work is only the beginning. Real embedded firmware development gets harder when a device leaves the development bench. Concurrency bugs emerge under load. Hardware revisions break assumptions. Memory and power become constrained. Networks disappear. Updates fail. And deployed devices may need to remain secure and maintainable for years.If you're learning embedded systems programming or working with real time operating systems, it's easy to know individual APIs while still struggling to understand how Kconfig, Devicetree, device drivers, threads, networking, storage, security, and firmware updates fit together.Zephyr RTOS Engineering bridges that gap.Rather than treating Zephyr as a collection of isolated features, this hands-on guide teaches you how to build portable, connected, secure, testable, and production-grade embedded systems. You'll learn not only how Zephyr mechanisms work, but when to use them, what trade-offs they introduce, and how to validate them.Inside, you'll learn how to: Master Zephyr development with West, CMake, Kconfig, Devicetree, boards, build artifacts, and reproducible workflows.Design reliable real-time firmware through RTOS concurrency programming with threads, scheduling, interrupts, work queues, synchronization, and message queues.Integrate real hardware using GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, sensors, Devicetree, device drivers, and custom driver architectures.Build portable firmware across boards, peripherals, hardware revisions, and product variants.Engineer embedded IoT development with IP networking, sockets, MQTT, Bluetooth Low Energy, TLS, reconnection, and offline operation.Strengthen embedded systems security with threat modeling, device identity, credential protection, secure boot, and signed firmware.Master MCUboot firmware updates with flash partitions, DFU, OTA delivery, validation, rollback, recovery, and version management.Optimize constrained devices by measuring flash, RAM, stack, CPU, storage, logging, and power consumption.Build firmware testing and debugging workflows with Ztest, Twister, GDB, watchdogs, HIL testing, fault injection, and root-cause analysis.Build embedded CI/CD pipelines connecting automated builds, tests, HIL validation, security gates, signing, and controlled releases.This isn't a book about making one demo work. It is about developing the engineering judgment required to build firmware whose behavior can be reasoned about, measured, reproduced, diagnosed, secured, recovered, updated, ported, and maintained throughout the product lifecycle.If you're ready to move beyond Zephyr tutorials and start engineering embedded systems you can confidently take from development board to production, get your copy of Zephyr RTOS Engineering today.
