Improving System Configuration for Zephyr and Beyond - Andy Gross, Linaro

SoC Vendors, board vendors, software middle layers, scripting languages, all need to have access to system configuration information (pin mixes, what sensors are on a system, what amount of memory, flash, and so forth).  We need a means to convey this in a vendor neutral mechanism but also one that is friendly for Cortex-M/constrained footprint devices.  This session will discuss the topic with regards to Zephyr, how system configuration is conveyed today, what changes we see needed to Zephyr, and the progress on a common definition format and tooling associated with it.

About Andy Gross

I work for Linaro as a kernel developer. My current project is IOT related, specifically improving board configuration and device description for Zephyr. I am also the Linux kernel maintainer for the Qualcomm SoC.
