Keynote: Zephyr is Not a Product!
summary
Zephyr is not a product but a neutral framework nearly ten years old that teams use as a foundation for many products; the concrete approach is strict separation of upstream and downstream, running parallel development so vendor features stay in downstream modules until they’re generic enough to upstream via West modules. Certification across architectures remains a hard, unsolved problem, and upstream makes no guarantees for downstream CI — coordination and a backup plan are required.
