Building Machine Vision Applications using OpenMV
This course will look at how to use the OpenMV camera to develop applications that can recognize objects and be used to design robotic devices, image recognition applications and much more. Machine vision applications are dramatically expanding. Machine vision allows developers to add an extra layer of intelligence to their systems whether it is to … Continue reading Building Machine Vision Applications using OpenMV
The 3 Stages in Secure Product Lifecycle Management
Nearly every embedded software developer working in the IoT space is now building secure devices. Developers have been mostly focused on how to handle secure applications and the basic microcontroller technologies such as how to use Arms TrustZone or leverage multicore processors. A looming problem that many companies and teams are overlooking is that figuring … Continue reading The 3 Stages in Secure Product Lifecycle Management
4 Uses for Assembly Language
An embedded tip that I often advocate is that developers should avoid using assembly language. The reason for avoiding assembly language is that it is specific to the processor architecture being used, it is difficult to read, understand and maintain. Today, we are going to look at the few areas where I believe it is … Continue reading 4 Uses for Assembly Language
A Microchip PIC16F84 LED Sequencer – Part 1
With the start of a new decade, a pandemic where we are on lock-down and the arrival spring, it was a perfect time to go through the office and reorganize. While I was sorting and organizing, I came across an old LED Sequencer that I had built back when I was 17 years old which … Continue reading A Microchip PIC16F84 LED Sequencer – Part 1
The Embedded Online Conference – May 20 – 21, 2020
On May 20 – 21, 2020, the third annual Embedded Online Conference will be taking place. This year is particularly special because we’ve been working hard since October to dramatically expand the conference and raise the bar on the content that will be available. This year we have added live workshops, an expo floor and … Continue reading The Embedded Online Conference – May 20 – 21, 2020
Book Review: MicroPython Projects
MicroPython Projects is a book for embedded software developers who are interested in branching out and learning how to build systems using Python. The book starts with an exploration of why a developer may want to forgo using C/C++ and instead venture into using MicroPython. The book in general is a project based book that … Continue reading Book Review: MicroPython Projects
CEC – Getting Started with Secure Software
The number of devices connecting to the internet each year is growing at an exponential rate. In fact, Arm expects there to be over 1 trillion connected devices by 2035. While the functionality for so many devices can hardly be conceived now, the one thing that each device is going to need is a secure … Continue reading CEC – Getting Started with Secure Software
Using Callbacks with Interrupts
On a weekly basis, I receive a fair number of emails with questions about how to design embedded systems. One question that seems to be asked more frequently than others is how to write a configurable driver that uses callbacks with interrupts. If a developer is writing a driver that will be reused in multiple … Continue reading Using Callbacks with Interrupts
5 Techniques to Delay Code Execution
An interesting problem that often comes up in embedded software implementation is figuring out how to delay code execution. Sometimes a developer might just want there to be a 10-microsecond delay to allow an I/O line to stabilize before reading it or may want a specified time period between reads to debounce it. In this … Continue reading 5 Techniques to Delay Code Execution
