In this Zephyr Tech Talk, Luis Ubieda, Lead Firmware Engineer at Croxel, demonstrates how to implement the Zephyr Shell subsystem over a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transport. This powerful technique enables wireless debugging, board bring-up, and device interaction without requiring physical connections—perfect for field testing and production environments.
Key Topics Covered
- Wireless shell access through BLE using Nordic UART Service (NUS)
- Live demonstration on Nordic nRF52840 DK and Thingy:52
- Adding custom shell commands to your application
- Security considerations for production deployments
- Multi-backend support (USB + BLE simultaneously)
