Zephyr Development Environment for Students
summary
Provides a reproducible Zephyr dev setup that replaces heavy VMs with a Docker/Podman container image built from a Debian base, installs the SDK and selective Zephyr modules to save gigabytes, and exports the container filesystem as a WSL distro for Windows. Uses west build, Segger/J-Link flashing, Ozone and SystemView debugging, and supports x86 and ARM64 macOS/Linux/Windows. Ten classroom executions run successfully with uniform, git-checkin container files.
