Very happy that the videos have been helpful! I'm sure that more Zephyr material will become available over time as adoption grows, but I suspect that the initial learning curve is quite steep for many people, especially those with limited previous exposure to Devicetree.

First clear and detailed video to learn Zephyr from scratch! This is great for us migrating from Arduino.

Arduino is great, and that was how I was first introduced to microcontrollers as well. The community is also very large and there are loads of fantastic documentation and tutorials out there for Arduino. Hopefully, we will have more tutorials and learning materials for Zephyr over time, just like Arduino already has. Thanks for taking the time to leave your comment, it made my day :-)

Wow, what a video! Sufficently in-depth and practical. Great explanations without skipping anything that might be considered trivial to more experienced develpers. Congrats!

Thanks for this video, it's a great step-by-step guide. One thing that tripped me up was that I needed an empty prj.conf file in the helloworld directory to make the "west build -b esp32" command work. Hope this helps anyone with troubles near May 2023.

Your six videos are the best tutorials in general I have seen so far on the web. Alongside JPJ's tutorials on Python and Tkinter. Very well structured, well explained and well presented. On top of that your calm voice makes the videos enjoyable even more. Thank you very much for all your effort! Do you by any chance plan to continue your video series?

Amazing video. I am trying to understand zephyr RTOS and program the RGB LED in the esp32c3 devkim-M1 to blink. It would be helpful if you could elaborate on the approach you took to gather the information about the RTOS such as the various macros in zephyr or the functions that are available in zephyr.

@thepullupresistor

8 ай бұрын

Thank you very much for your kind feedback! As for my approach to gather information about the RTOS, such as macros, etc. I want to be careful to offer much advice, because my way of learning may be very different from yours. But, for what it's worth, when I first started out with Zephyr, I watched all the videos online first, especially from the Zephyr conferences. That gave me a high level overview, but I didn't understand many of the details in the presentations until I started working on small projects for myself. Beginning with setting up the build tool-chain, getting a blinking LED, etc. However, the devicetree model of Zephyr was the biggest challenge for me. I suspect it has also been a big stumbling block for many others who does not have experience doing Linux kernel development. Making these videos helped me to dive deeper into the underlying macro "magic". However, it took me quite a long time to get my head around it. Sorry for not being more helpful, and good luck in your learning journey!

Seems like a lot to go through. Is their any advantage of using Zephyr instead of the esp-idf with freeRTOS already integrated ? Does Zephyr use its own IDE ?

@thepullupresistor

I think it depends on your specific situation. In particular, I think that Zephyr offers a good way to separate application code and hardware configuration, which could be important for large projects and projects that are looking at using more than one microcontroller family, for example. However, I program microcontrollers as a hobby, so Zephyr is more of a fun learning opportunity for me. And, yes, I feel that there is a long and steep learning curve, which is why I started making some of these tutorial videos so that hopefully my (many) mistakes could help someone else have a smoother learning journey. For my hobby projects, I mainly use Zephyr now for 32 bit projects (STM32, ESP32, RP2040) and avr-libc for 8 bit projects. And even when using Zephyr on ESP32, I can always use the esp-idf HAL directly if I need to. As for the question about an IDE, as far as I know there is not one "official" IDE for Zephyr, but CLion and VS Code seem to be popular. I think most modern IDEs should be able to handle the CMake-based workflow. Personally I use a combination of Emacs and the Zephyr CLI tool called west, together with OpenOCD and GDB. This is just my personal view, and I'm not associated with the Zephyr Project in any way, so you will probably get better answers and more diverse viewpoints by asking in the Zephyr forums online.

Great video, I have one question please, what did you use to make those animations of the source code ? I want to use the same for my training videos. Thanks

Sorry to hear that you're facing this trouble. Could you please try to run the shell script to setup the Zephyr environment? On Linux/MacOS you can run ". ~/zephyrproject/zephyr/zephyr_env.sh", assuming that your Zephyr installation is in the ~/zephyrproject directory. If you are on Windows, the equivalent script is zephyr_env.cmd in the same directory. I just tried it on my system (Debian 12) and it works. Please let me know if you're able to fix the issue. Thank you.

hello there, I was working on zephyr os with the esp32c3 dev board. the build with the west tool is successful but it does not flash using west flash. can you help?

@thepullupresistor

Жыл бұрын

Hi! Very cool, I haven't been able to get hold of an ESP32C3 yet, so unfortunately I've not played around with it so far. I'm not sure if there's anything different about the C3 when it comes to flashing, but in my experience with ESP32 WROOM and WROVER modules there are a lot of things that can cause the flashing not to work. The most frustrating experience I've had is with unreliable FTDI FT232RL boards, so now I exclusively use the ESP-PROG since it has JTAG as well, is very fast and works every time. I'm happy to try and help troubleshooting, but may I ask that you share your exact problem, system setup, and what you have tried already in the Zephyr Discord #espressif channel? That way, if i can't help you, maybe someone else will be able to. Also, if you solve your problem, others with a similar problem can also learn from it. You can find an invite to the Discord channel on the www.zephyrproject.org/community/ website.

Sorry if I misunderstand your question, but you can use any of the supported methods to program your ESP32 board. Personally, I use the ESP-Prog board because it has JTAG and serial (docs.espressif.com/projects/espressif-esp-iot-solution/en/latest/hw-reference/ESP-Prog_guide.html)
