Happy New Year! I hope that you enjoyed the holidays and wish you and your family a prosperous and healthy 2020!
This month I’ve pulled together some articles that I believe are quite timely to help you kick-off the New Year and be successful this year. The articles include:
My online spring conference will be on May 20, 2020 so mark your calendar! It’s going to be an exciting one so watch for the registration announcement that will be posted in the next week or so.
The start of a new year, especially one that is the start of a new decade, provides a great excuse to carefully evaluate and review how you develop embedded systems and put in place a plan to improve it. The techniques and processes that are used to effectively develop products are constantly changing and improving, …
The last decade has seen an amazing advancement in embedded system development techniques, tools and technologies. A decade ago, I recall being amazed when a microcontroller had a clock speed above 48 MHz with an unbelievable 128 kilobytes for flash. Today, we now have microcontrollers with clock speeds above 1 GHz with more than 4 …
It’s always exciting to start on a new development project, but some of the most interesting and challenging projects to work on in embedded systems can often be how to modernize a legacy code base. There are so many products that are currently on the market that have been in production for years if not …
Several years ago, I was working on a project for a client that involved an embedded Linux machine. I was planning to travel over the weekend but given the project timeline it was critical that progress still be made. The prototype device would not travel well, so we decided to connect it to the internet …
Upcoming Events
With the explosive growth in the Internet of Things (IoT) and the number of devices soaring, security is critical maintain device integrity and protect user privacy. However, designing consistent security across connected devices can be a minefield to navigate and implementation can be costly. Using a smart door lock as an example, in this webinar, attendees will learn how to design security from the ground up using PSA principles and guidelines with a PSoC® 64 secure MCU from Cypress Semiconductor.
Attendees will walk away with the best practices to develop their own security solutions. In addition, the importance of secure device management throughout the IoT products lifecycle will also be reviewed.
During the webinar, you will learn:
Developing a threat model and Defining security counter measures
Maintaining asset security through hardware architecture and security IP
Implementing trusted boot and Secure application partitioning
Using Trusted Firmware-M to isolate security critical functionality from non-secure code
Leveraging the Arm Pelion Secure IoT Device Management Platform for full device lifecycle management (design, onboard, provision, secure, update, manage, etc.)
As we move in to the last quarter of the year, now is the perfect time to start learning the skills that you will need in 2020 to be successful. While there are several different courses that Jacob teaches, Jacob’s courses on:
have all now been packaged together. This package provides developers with everything they need in order to architect, design and implement embedded systems with real-time operating system. The course is offered as a self-paced online course with lectures given by Jacob Beningo and corresponding lab materials using an Arm Cortex-M development along with FreeRTOS, AmazonFreeRTOS and ThreadX.

The C programming language continues to be one of the most widely used languages in embedded systems design. Despite its popularity, C is no longer taught at universities and most industry courses just teach the fundamentals. There’s no good source for developers who want to take their C programming skills to the expert level in a practical way that can be used even in robust embedded systems.
This technology primer is designed to provide developers expert tips, tricks and insights about how to use C to build real-time embedded systems. The primer will include a weekly blog, expert tip to immediately apply in the design cycle and a monthly video that goes deeper on several expert topics.
