Topic: Update on Rust on Zephyr
Abstract: Recently I began an earnest effort to bring Rust support to Zephyr. This work is now in a Zephyr module and included in the mainline support. This talk will describe where we’re at with this, what can be done with it, and why someone might want to use Rust to develop a Zephyr application.
Speaker: David Brown, Linaro

Date & Time: Friday, 16 May 12:10 – 12:35 (Europe/Lisbon)
Room: Session room 2 | Opala I & II
Topic: Why Rust and Zephyr are a good fit
Abstract: When seeking to use Rust for embedded development, there are several options, including bare-metal, a few rust-specific rtos implementations, and several existing RTOSes. This talk discusses why Zephyr is a good fit for an embedded Rust, and especially how we are able to leverage some of Zephyr’s strengths, including a rich and diverse set of supported targets, and some of Zephyr’s features, such as the work queue mechanism, and how it fits well with Rust’s async system.

Cyber ​​Resilience Act Summit
2025-10-13 - 2025-10-14
With the Cyber ​​Resilience Act (CRA), the European Union has established a minimum level of cybersecurity for all connected products. The CRA covers all products sold in the EU that contain “digital elements.” This includes the entire spectrum of embedded systems —from consumer electronics and household appliances to complex high-end industrial systems—if they can be connected to a network or even to another device.
The CRA has been in force since the end of 2024, and implementation must be completed in several steps by the end of 2027 at the latest. Embedded systems developers, as well as project managers and product managers, are therefore asking themselves: How do I proceed to ensure that my products meet the CRA requirements?
At the Markt&Technik CRA Summit, top-class speakers will demonstrate which strategies can be used to make embedded systems of varying complexity “CRA-safe.”
At the event, Zephyr Project’s functional safety expert Nicole Pappler will be giving a talk on “Preparing open source projects for the CRA”.
About the talk: With the entry into force of the EU Cyber ​​Resilience Act (CRA), manufacturers of connected products face new regulatory requirements for cybersecurity across the entire product lifecycle. The Zephyr project, an open-source real-time operating system (RTOS), addresses these requirements through targeted technical and organizational measures.
The key elements include:
Automated creation of software bills of materials (SBOMs) for transparent component tracking
Long-term security support (LTS) with regular vulnerability fixes
Integration into CVE award processes for structured security communication
Vendor-neutral governance and community-driven development that promotes industrial adoption
Zephyr thus provides a robust open source foundation for the development of secure, auditable, and CRA-compliant embedded systems.
