It is always interesting to check in on how different programming languages are ranking for a number of different reasons. The first, a simple sanity check to make sure that the language an engineer is using isn’t becoming a dinosaur. As a language starts to drop in ranking it might be a perfect time to … Continue reading The Top 10 Programming Languages of 2014
One of my favorite ARM development tools is my IAR I-Jet debugger. It provides quite a bit of debugging capability not to mention the extra goodies for measuring processor current draw. The only problem is that at $299, an engineer really doesn’t want to purchase a second one for a backup. So in the unfortunate … Continue reading Turn a Low Cost Dev Kit into a Programmer in 3 Easy Steps
There are many different types of tools that an embedded software engineer utilizes during the design process. One of the least expensive and unexpected is the Raspberry Pi. Normally during the start of a project great effort is spent setting up a new microcontroller so that new sensors, interfaces and high risk development areas can … Continue reading Tools – The Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a great inexpensive, single board computer that can be used to rapidly prototype embedded systems. The Raspberry Pi (RPi) usually runs Raspian or some other offshoot of Linux. One of the annoyances of developing software on this platform is that you need an extra monitor, keyboard and mouse in order to … Continue reading Raspberry Pi – Connecting Remotely using SSH
