In a previous article, I introduced how to set up a Zephyr project using the West tool (Getting Started with Zephyr: Customizing the West Manifest), and demonstrated how to customize the operating system using Kconfig (Getting Started with Zephyr: Kconfig), as well as how to customize hardware using Devicetrees (Getting Started with Zephyr: Devicetrees). In … Read more
In the previous article (Getting Started with Zephyr: Kconfig), we learned how to use the “Kconfig” infrastructure to enable and disable specific Zephyr subsystems. Specifically, we observed the three main elements of the Kconfig infrastructure. First, we understood how the Kconfig infrastructure is formulated and provided an example of a Kconfig file that enables the … Read more
The first step in implementing embedded software is to enable specific peripherals, features, and subsystems. Some MCU vendors, such as STM32, Microchip, and TI, provide tools within their integrated development environments that allow developers to enable peripherals in their projects and add subsystems to the codebase. However, these tools are tightly coupled with the MCUs … Read more

Zephyr has encapsulated a lot of functionality in its build system around CMake, primarily through a series of macros and functions that simplify the declaration of libraries and modules, the addition of source files, the setting of include directories, and linking operations. Below are detailed explanations of some key points: 1.zephyr_library() Macro lFunction This macro … Read more
When compiling the Linux kernel, we often execute some commands in the top-level directory of the Linux kernel. Taking RK3288 as an example, commands such as: make firefly-rk3288-linux_defconfig, make menuconfig, make firefly-rk3288.img, make zImage, etc. are used. Without getting into the specifics of these commands, let’s raise a few questions. (1) Given the vastness of … Read more
