Martin explains why he moved to Zephyr after running into deprecated SDKs and the pain of restarting every time he switched MCUs. Zephyr offers consistency when platforms change.

In today's Coredump Session, we explore the wild early days of Pebble and what it takes to scale a hardware startup against industry giants. From scrappy hackathons to 100+ person engineering teams, Kean Wong, former VP of Software at Pebble and now CTO at Eagor, joins Memfault’s François and Chris to unpack how startups can outpace Big Tech by staying nimble, hiring wisely, and embracing constant change.

Maximilian Köhl breaks down how RugX uses adaptive data updates to deliver deltas without heavy infrastructure. No static compression or custom pipelines—just smart chunking and HTTP range requests.

Pat Wolfe explains the gap in expertise and tooling for embedded Linux OTA systems. He shares how RugX makes it easier to get robust A/B and delta updates running without deep U-Boot work or complex board configs.
