Lightning Talk: Zephyr in Education
summary
University labs move from slow Ubuntu VMs to a reproducible container-based dev image that exports as a WSL distro, boots from a Debian baseline with the Zephyr SDK installed, and uses host-side flashing via J-Flash Light. Setup downloads shrink to a tiny file, builds run faster (Windows container exports even beat native Windows builds), students hit working setups inside two-hour lab sessions, and iterative testing with real boards produces consistently positive results.
