Enabling CodeChecker for your Zephyr RTOS Project

Last week, when putting together my weekly Zephyr update, I spent some time recording a short(ish!) demo of how to run CodeChecker against your Zephyr RTOS project. This static code analysis tool is really impressive, and very good at spotting “smells” in your code base. Check it out, and let me know if you have any questions!

Note: Since I recorded the video, a new option has been added to directly upload results to a CodeChecker server (similar to what I demo in the video, except that I am doing this step manually)!
To use it, just pass the CODECHECKER_STORE=y CMake option when running the build, and you will be all set.

Getting Started with Zephyr RTOS on the MXChip IoT DevKit

As you may have read in the latest edition of my Zephyr Weekly Update, Zephyr RTOS now has support for the very popular MXChip AZ3166 IoT DevKit!

There are tons of IoT developer kits out there, but this one is particularly interesting to me as it’s been used by Microsoft for many years as one of the reference platform for the Azure IoT demos and tutorials. Many folks all around the world have had the opportunity to play with it, and I thought adding support for it in Zephyr RTOS would be a good opportunity to give everyone an excuse to learn more about Zephyr by directly getting their hands dirty.

I have just posted the following short video on my YouTube channel, and I encourage anyone interested in dusting off their MXChip DevKit to watch it and give the Zephyr Getting Started a try 🙂

If you have any questions or need help, feel free to leave a comment below or on the video!

Unveiling the Eclipse IoT Demo Box

Now that the holiday season is over, we’re fully into “conference season” mode, as the fall is packed with IoT conferences (look at our Events Calendar to see where we will have a presence in the next couple months). Last week, the Eclipse Foundation was exhibiting at M2M Summit with three of our member companies: Logi.cals, Generative Software and Bitreactive (who blogged about it).

Since the number of Eclipse IoT projects keeps growing (we’re approaching 20!), it is sometimes difficult for people to quickly understand the problems each of these projects are trying to solve. While we’ve been pretty successful with the “Greenhouse demo™” over the past few years, this is a rather limited use case, and it does not really allow to showcase some of our newest projects.

This is why I started to create a new setup for Eclipse IoT demos, that I hope will be adopted by everyone interested in having an easy to setup platform for explaining what Eclipse IoT is all about. You should read this article until the end if you want to learn how to replicate this setup yourself!
