Develop firmware and software for embedded projects.
Straying a little off today to discuss 5G and specifically concerns about 5G safety. By now most of you are familiar with new 5G networks being rolled out in various parts of the world and the expected benefits. Many people are voicing concern about its safety and a large number of groups opposing its deployment […]
Most of the world is still in some level of lockdown due to the Corona-virus Pandemic, and the main topic of discussion is how we get out of lockdown and will our world change. So, let’s take a look. I live in Canada and like most places we’ve been in self isolation and most businesses […]
I was looking for suitable microprocessor development board to show case some aspects of embedded firmware techniques, and as luck would have it, I had a number of candidates. A had a couple TI MSP340 based boards and a few NXP KL family boards along with a random collection of Raspberry Pi and Beaglebones. I […]
So, what is a “Wrapper Layer”? Typically, a wrapper is a thin set of functions or methods (a “shim”) that hides underlying libraries or services and presents a compatible API or set of APIs, the wrapper, to higher level code. The shim code is typically just calling underlying functions translating any data structures used in […]
Most of you will be familiar with software development life cycles (SDLC) and probably have a favourite variant such as the Agile Model, I personally prefer a Spiral-Iterative Models and borrow extensively from Rapid Development techniques (see Steve McConnell’s book of the same name) and the more obscure “Extreme Programming Explained” by Kent Beck. But […]
As any experienced developer of firmware or software will attest (and probably some hardware designers too) coding style is only slightly safer then trying to eat a porcupine like our friend the honey badger, and yes I’m going there today. But unlike the honey badger I do it because I care. Today’s topic is “When […]
Came across a nice video by “Subject Zero Science” regarding some breakthroughs in solid state batteries by Samsung. Subject Zero does some nice videos, such as Breakthrough Solid State Battery – 900 Wh/L Samsung [2020] posted on Youtube a few days ago, check him out. I’m not a chemist or materials engineer, but all we need […]
