In this talk, we'll guide you through the exciting process of porting DOOM to the Zephyr RTOS. We’ll begin by introducing PrBoom, the game engine used for this port. Next, we’ll explore the Zephyr native simulator, a powerful tool that eases the entire porting process by offering robust debugging, testing, and profiling capabilities. Finally, we’ll delve into Zephyr’s display and input subsystems, components for capturing input from various devices (ADC, GPIO, Touchscreen) and rendering game frames on a screen. Last, we'll showcase the port running on actual hardware the NXP MCXN MCU demonstrating how Zephyr and PrBoom come together to bring DOOM to life in an embedded environment. Whether you're an embedded systems enthusiast or a gamer, this session will showcase the versatility of Zephyr in handling a classic game like DOOM.
