Open Source Firmware Conference 2020

Zephyr as an open platform for Google's embedded controllers
2020-12-03 , Main Stage

Since 2012, Google has developed an open source embedded controller for Chromebooks. Recently, Google has committed to use Zephyr OS in future embedded controller designs. We discuss the benefits of moving to a community-driven RTOS instead of using our custom kernel. We also discuss Google’s plans to contribute to Zephyr OS.
