# Zephyr series overview

> A series of tutorials on using Edge Impulse Zephyr Module for deploying machine learning models using the Edge Impulse Zephyr Module

This series of tutorials builds on the static buffer deployment [Run Zephyr Module](/hardware/deployments/run-zephyr-module) tutorial, advancing from basic examples to application-level implementations using Edge Impulse Zephyr Module. You'll learn to deploy models, work with sensors, and port applications between different Zephyr-supported boards.

## Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of Zephyr is required before using the Edge Impulse Zephyr Module, there are many excellent resources available, and this series is not a Zephyr primer. Additionally, before beginning this series, complete the static buffer deployment tutorial to understand the foundational concepts of our [Edge Impulse Zephyr Module deployment](/hardware/deployments/run-zephyr-module).

## Getting started

First follow the Edge Impulse Zephyr module deployment instructions, then explore the other tutorials to enhance your Zephyr projects with Edge Impulse capabilities.

<Note>
  **Wired alternative for Nano 33 BLE Sense / Nesso N1:** if you don’t need wireless or want to also stream camera frames, the [Android data collector USB OTG tab](/tutorials/topics/android/android-data-collector#11-connect-a-usb-otg-arduino-device) can read IMU CSV data (and OV7675 / OV2640 images) directly from the board over a USB cable using the `nano33ble_ai_kit_otg` or `nesso_usb_serial_imu` Arduino sketches — no Zephyr firmware required.
</Note>
