Unless you have been living under a rock for the last year, you have probably heard a whole lot about AI writing code. If you are in embedded development, you will have also noticed the surge in popularity of various open source tools and technologies, like the Zephyr Project.

The combination of these trends signals a seismic shift away from traditional embedded development. But how much of it is just hype? And what’s really out there today that embedded teams can use to accelerate their projects?

Join Memfault and Golioth, a leading IoT platform company, to discuss the future of embedded development as we try to answer the question - How much embedded code will we actually write in the future?

This conversation will explore:

  • The role of AI in automating embedded software development
  • How open-source adoption is changing the embedded toolchain
  • The balance between in-house development, open source, and AI-generated code
  • What these trends mean for embedded engineers and product teams

This session is designed for embedded engineers and product leaders looking to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly changing development landscape. Whether you are exploring AI-generated code or considering how much open-source to include in your next project, this discussion will provide insights into where embedded software development is heading next and what you should do now to stay ahead.
