Porting Zephyr OS for a SoC (Cortex-R5) - M Tamseel Shams, Samsung Semiconductor India Research

Embedded system design is an amalgamation of hardware and software. Advantage of using Zephyr is that it is a small kernel in comparison to many other RTOS available to us.  The purpose of our talk is to share our knowledge on porting Zephyr OS to a new hardware. The talk will give an overview of porting steps to any new platform, in this talk we have taken example of porting on Cortex-R5 architecture. Along with that giving some insight on shell, UART and timer modules. This talk will also include issues/challenges faced while porting and its solutions, debugging using Trace32 (debugger), and debugging during runtime using RAM dump in the absence of any serial console devices. The talk will help developers to port their hardware’s more easily and avoid issues while porting or solve those issues in a better way.
