Training Zephyr Getting Started

Zephyr Lab Guides with VS Code

This set of lab guides provide detailed steps to get started with Zephyr and the MCUXpresso extension for VS Code:

• Lab 0: Zephyr Lab Installation and Preparation

  • Building the Hello World sample
  • Intro to Zephyr Lab Kconfig
  • Debugging with VS Code and Thread Awareness
  • Intro to Devicetree

Lab Notes

• Lab guides are provided for the specific NXP boards listed above. However, similar steps can also be performed on dozens of other NXP boards. For the full list of boards supported upstream in Zephyr, see NXP Supported Boards.
• The lab steps are written for Windows 10. But Zephyr and NXP's tools, including the MCUXpresso extension for VS Code, are also supported on Ubuntu and macOS. All the labs will work on each supported OS with minimal changes needed.
• File Paths - The file paths used in these steps follow the Windows guidelines in the Zephyr Getting Started documentation, to place the zephyrproject folder in the user path c:\Users\<USER_NAME>\zephyrproject. These steps reference the user name NXP, so the path provided in the steps is c:\Users\NXP\zephyrproject. Be sure to change this path to match your installation.
