How does Mjølner use Zephyr?
Mjølner is committed to being the preferred supplier for physical digital prototypes, with a strong focus on rapid prototyping, multi-source design, and security. To deliver on this commitment, we use the Zephyr platform for:
- Supporting our Multi Source Design strategy and to strive to deliver solutions that are as vendor- and hardware-agnostic.
- It allows us to provide our clients with the flexibility and adaptability needed in today’s fast-paced tech environment.
- Enabling us to offer robust solutions that align perfectly with our customers’ diverse needs, ensuring rapid prototyping and enhanced security in every project we undertake.

Agile Product Development with Zephyr
Agility is a long-standing tradition in software development, while hardware development often leans towards a more waterfall-like approach.
This talk explores the potential of extending agile methodologies to also include hardware development. Through examples, in context of Zephyr, we will highlight some derived benefits in the intersection between the hardware and software domains – including decoupling from unreliable supply-chains.
Mjølner Informatics
Bent Bisballe
Bent Bisballe Nyeng (MSc CS) is working as senior embedded solution architect at Mjølner Informatics in Aarhus, Denmark. He specializes in embedded and UI development, where he works with tailoring solutions to customer needs as well as counselling and training.
STM32’s role in the Zephyr ecosystem
The presentation will look at STM32’s role in the Zephyr ecosystem, how we support it and what the ST strategy is.
STMicroelectronics
Emil Damkjær Petersen
Emil part of the STM32Cube ecosystem marketing team, responsible for defining the solutions offered to support our STM32 microcontrollers.
Stop creating threads! Share them instead
Threads are just about the most expensive object in multithreaded embedded systems. They hog the RAM like no other and bring a seemingly infinite number of new and exciting ways of breaking programs with concurrency issues.
This talk will focus on presenting the problem, and a way of solving it by sharing the precious few threads we have instead of creating new ones.
Nordic Semiconductor
Bjarki Arge Andreasen
Bjarki is an R&D Engineer at Nordic Semiconductor, who is the maintainer of the RTC, GNSS and modem subsystems, with 3 years of experience working with the Zephyr Project.
More with less, Qt with Zephyr
So far, development of applications for MCUs has often been constrained by specifics of each of the proprietary MCU platforms. With Zephyr gaining more and more traction, we see that Zephyr is becoming a universal and indispensable part of MCU development. Qt has always stood for platform independence on desktop, mobile, embedded MPU and MCU devices. In this talk we are going to show how Qt and Zephyr collaboration can enable accelerated graphics and quick development cycles on a broad range of devices. Step by and learn what’s next!
Qt Group
Amit Nainawat
Amit is a Director of Solutions Engineering at Qt, helping a wide range of industries to build their next generation products based on Qt Framework. For over 20 years he has worked in different digital industries including digital television, fabless semiconductor industry and industrial automation. Before joining Qt, he worked for 12 years in the embedded systems field as a Solution Architect.
Bruno will be a part of the talk held by Qt together with his colleague Amit NaiNawat. In 2023 Bruno created a port of Qt for Zephyr with focus on Nordic nRF53. During the talk Bruno will guide you through the process and present new developments such as accelerated graphics and much more.
Qt Group
Bruno Vunderl
Bruno is a Product Lead at Qt. From his student days in Croatia, Bruno was very interested and involved in building automotive user interfaces, embedded devices and microcontrollers. Before joining Qt, he used Qt to create instrument cluster UI for automotive industry – you might have already driven a car with UI he developed.
