Founder of FPGA Consultancy - Adiuvo Engineering. Embedded Systems Consultant, FPGA Expert, Prolific FPGA Writer
One of the most important aspects of working as a FPGA engineer is being able to work with source control such as Git. Without source control it is hard to track what went into which build, something I see from clients more often that I would think (some of whom are surprisingly large). A few weeks ago I wrote Hackster project on how to effectively work with Git which I think is worth sharing again. #fpga #electronics #engineering #embeddedsystems #embeddedsoftware #git #sourcecontrol https://lnkd.in/eEn9B9rz

You don't need a board to start writing your embedded software! Javad Rahimi dives into yet another interesting corner of The Zephyr Project: support for emulation. It overcomes limitations of board availability, but also makes it easier to test situations that you can't easily reproduce in hardware. https://mind.be/zemu #zephyr #embedded #tutorial #emulation #testing

Hi folks, as a seasoned embedded systems developer, I've seen the pendulum swing back and forth between using Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and programming in bare metal. While some still swear by the latter for its supposed 'lightweight' efficiency, I firmly believe that RTOS is the better choice - every time. Here's why: - Simplified Development: With a RTOS, you can focus on your application code without worrying about low-level details like memory management, interrupt handling, and synchronization primitives. This leads to faster development times, reduced bugs, and improved overall quality. - Better Multitasking: RTOS provides robust multitasking capabilities, allowing multiple tasks to run concurrently while still meeting real-time requirements. No more tedious task switching or context switching - your code can run smoothly and efficiently. - Increased Reliability: By leveraging a proven and well-maintained RTOS kernel, you benefit from the collective expertise of thousands of developers who've contributed to its stability and security over the years. - Future-Proofing: As software complexity increases, a RTOS provides a solid foundation for scaling your application without sacrificing performance. No need to rewrite your code or refactor your architecture - simply add new features and tasks as needed. Don't get me wrong; bare metal programming has its place in specific, niche applications where overhead is a concern. But for most use cases, the advantages of using a RTOS far outweigh any perceived benefits of going bare metal. So, what's your experience with RTOS vs. bare metal programming? Share your thoughts. #RTOS #EmbeddedSystems #SoftwareDevelopment

Hey Guys, Sharing Embedded systems learnings Day1/30. You must have seen this symbol in your embedded systems software application "__attribute__((weak))" before a function definition. 1- In C language, a weak function definition is a way to declare a function that can be overridden(defined again with different implementation) by a stronger definition at link time. 2- This is commonly used in embedded systems where you might want to provide a default implementation that can be replaced if needed. 3- A weak symbol, allows for multiple definitions of the same function without causing linker errors. Benefits of weak function definition- a. Default Implementations: Weak symbols enable the definition of default implementations that can be overridden if necessary. b. Plug-in Architectures: Weak symbols are useful in plug-in architectures where modules may or may not provide specific functionalities. A weak symbol can act as a default implementation that is only used if the module doesn't provide its own. Understanding the distinctions between weak and strong symbols in C is crucial for designing modular, extensible, and maintainable code. Strong symbols represent definitive entities, while weak symbols provide a flexible mechanism for customization and extension. By strategically using weak and strong symbols, developers can strike a balance between enforcing essential components and allowing for optional or replaceable parts in their software projects.

#day7 of #50days of #embeddedsystems Day 7: Embedded Firmware Development embedded firmware development could involve a variety of tasks depending on the project's stage and requirements. Here's a general outline of what might be involved: *Reviewing Requirements: Start the day by revisiting the project requirements. Make sure you understand what features need to be implemented and any constraints you need to consider. *Code Review: If you're working in a team, you might start the day with a code review session. This involves going through code changes made by team members, providing feedback, and ensuring code quality and consistency. *Implementing Features: Based on the requirements, you'll spend time implementing new features or modifying existing ones. This might involve writing code in C, C++, or another programming language suitable for embedded systems. *Debugging: Embedded systems often come with their own set of challenges, such as limited resources and real-time constraints. Debugging is a crucial part of the development process. You might use debuggers, emulators, or logging techniques to identify and fix issues in the firmware. *Optimization: Embedded systems typically have limited resources in terms of memory, processing power, and energy. Optimizing your code for these constraints is essential. You might optimize algorithms, reduce code size, or minimize power consumption. *Testing: Testing is a continuous process in firmware development. You'll write and run tests to ensure that the firmware behaves as expected under various conditions. This might include unit tests, integration tests, and system-level tests. *Documentation: Documenting your code and design decisions is important for maintaining and evolving the firmware in the future. Spend some time documenting your work, including APIs, usage examples, and any design trade-offs you've made. Collaboration: Throughout the day, you'll likely collaborate with other team members, such as hardware engineers, software developers, and QA testers. Communication is key to ensure everyone is aligned and working towards the same goals. *Version Control: Use version control systems like Git to manage your codebase. Commit your changes regularly and collaborate with your team through branches and pull requests. *Reflection and Planning: At the end of the day, take some time to reflect on what you've accomplished and plan for the next steps. Identify any challenges you encountered and how you can address them moving forward. By these steps, you can make progress in developing embedded firmware while ensuring code quality, reliability, and efficiency. #embeddedsystems
