Lightning Talk: How Zephyr Shaped My Journey as a Trainee in Embedded Software Development
summary
Journey describes porting an unsupported microcontroller to Zephyr over four rotations, spending about two months resolving missing device tree entries, Kconfig/CMake and YAML links, and finally getting Blinky running on product hardware. It documents creating board, SOC and driver files, wrote SOC GPIO driver, and adopting West to manage multi-repo projects rather than only flashing samples, used West to manage repos. First contribution goes through CI, receives bot welcome and is first pull request merged.
