Embedded Online Conference, and more …

May 2021 – Issue #096

Dear *|FNAME|*,

Welcome back to the Embedded Bytes Newsletter! I hope wherever you are in the world that things are going well and that you, your family and colleagues are all staying safe and healthy.

Things this month (and last) have been a whirlwind! So many exciting thing going on between project deliveries, content development and of course the Embedded Online Conference which is just days away!

With everything going on, I wanted to make sure I didn’t neglect you and provided you with some interesting content to help you this month.

First, this month I’ve pulled together several articles that I believe you will find interesting and will help enhance your embedded skillset. (I fell a little bit behind in my blogging, so you’ll notice that I included some fantastic articles from Clive Maxfield). The articles include:

Second, it’s not too late to register and attend the Embedded Online Conference! You can use the code BENINGO149 to register for $149 (a $141 dollar savings). We put together a fun video with all the speakers entitled Why Attend. Check it out!

Enjoy and if you have suggestions or content you would like to see covered, please let me know! I’m here to help!

Happy Coding,

Jacob

Upcoming Events

The 4th annual Embedded Online Conference will take place May 17 – 20! The conference will be three days of highly relevant technical content from industry experts through-out the world! The initial speaker list is posted with many more talks and workshops to come!

We’ve been working tirelessly to hire industry leaders with great content to maximize your experience! A conference like this would normally cost over $2,000 between entry fees, travel, hotel and convincing a boss to leave the office for a week.

Check out our Why Attend video to learn more about the conference.

Stephane and I are proud to bring such value at such a low cost to the industry for the fourth year in a row!

Thank-you for your continued support!

The Siglent SDG 2042X Arbitrary Waveform Generator

First off, this is not an ad or paid blog. I was recently working on a project where I needed to generate several different waveforms simultaneously and my old, trusted and true GW Instek SFG-2110 Synthesized Function Generator just wasn’t going to do the trick. I considered using MicroPython and slapping some FETs on the …

Finding a Buffer Overflow Issue using a Map File

Buffer overflows are one of those bugs that wreak havoc on embedded software. The system appears to be working perfectly and then all of a sudden, weird things start to happen! Variables that have been behaving suddenly end up with values that are unexpected. Developers often will be stumped and spend days trying to figure …

CEC – Machine Learning Application Design using STM32 MCUs

Machine learning is quickly finding applications in the microcontroller space. Machine learning is a completely different paradigm in application development. In this course, we will explore how to get starting with machine learning on a microcontroller and how to meld it with the traditional application design methodologies.

Embedded Systems Courses

Nearly every embedded engineer knows what makes up an RTOS and the tools available to write an application, but they don’t understand how to apply those fundamentals to design and build an RTOS application for production.

This course is for developers who know the basics but want to learn how to design a system that is schedulable, robust, efficient and scalable while skipping over all the time normally spent debugging a system.

This course takes a hands-on approach by having attendees design and build their own IoT connected product using a development board all using an RTOS.

There are seven sessions and seven labs that allow design theory to be learned and then best practices applied. Each lab and lecture is approximately 1 – 1.5 hours long each.

The course sessions include:

RTOS Application Design Principles
RTOS Application Design Patterns
Securing RTOS Applications
RTOS Pitfalls and Issues
Optimizing RTOS Applications
Debugging Tools and Techniques
Best Practices

Live sessions will take place on Tuesdays @ 2 p.m. ET from April 20th – June 1st.

Recordings are provided so no need to fret if you can’t make the live sessions.

If you have any questions, please contact [email protected]
