As we continue the series on Embedded Systems Programming, this article will present the 2nd part, which is about the hardware or the peripheral circuitry required to run a microprocessor. It ...

The ESP32 by Example course, paired with Prof. Jim Solderitsch’s guidance, teaches you the hardware, code, and systems behind ...

The very first step in starting an embedded Linux system does not involve Linux at all. Instead, the processor is reset and starts executing code from a given location. This location contains a ...

At the end of the second article in this series, which outlines a step-by-step process for embedded Linux development, we had the LBox up and running, ready to use for application development. On some ...

In several of my previous posts, we’ve been looking at embedded software testing using Cpputest and build environments using Docker. Each topic is a building block ...

When tasks share resources, as they often do, strange things can and will happen. Priority inversions in embedded systems can be particularly difficult to anticipate. Here’s an introduction to ...

Counter/timer hardware is a crucial component of most embedded systems. In some cases a timer is needed to measure elapsed time; in others we want to count or time some external events. Here's a ...
