How To Use Zephyr Overlays

More information is available here: https://blog.golioth.io/can-zephyr-ov...

In this video we discuss how to use an "overlay" in Zephyr, which allows customization of firmware images for particular hardware targets. For instance, we might use the "device tree overlay" to change which pin we are targeting for a signal assigned to LED0. In this particular example, we are showing how to change the pins for the ESP32 demo. This is a further explanation of the device tree overlay shown in the LightDB Demo Videos:

The Zephyr Project (https://zephyrproject.org/) is a popular and growing Real Time Operating System (RTOS) used for bringing a range of features into the realm of possibility for embedded devices. Golioth uses Zephyr as part of the Golioth SDK to bootstrap application examples and show how to utilize the range of networking features Golioth enables via their APIs.
