Your Embedded Software Newsletter …

January 2022 – Issue #104

Dear *|FNAME|*,

Sorry for the second newsletter email. I’ve had quite a few subscribers point out a few issues and I wanted to give everyone clarification.

First, the link for 5 Embedded Technologies to Master in 2022 was not correct in the first part of the newsletter. It was in the blog section, but not in the initial link. If you are looking for the article, you can find it here.

Second, there have been a lot of questions about how I worded the Embedded Online Conference code. The code will allow you to register for this year’s conference at $60 until the end of January. After that, the price will be going up. The $60 is the lowest price that will be offered to join. Again, the code is BENINGO.

Third, there was an issue with the Embedded Online Conference site yesterday. If you attended last year, there was not an option to put the code in and get the discount. That has also been resolved.

Finally, one of the banners for my upcoming DesignNews courses was not updated and was linking Percepio’s Runtime Webinar series. The other links were good, but I’m not sure anyone tried them. The correct link to register for the Raspberry Pi Pico course is here.

Thanks for your patience as we get things rolling this year! I’ll make sure going forward that we minimize these types of issues. If you have any questions, issues, etc, please don’t hesitate to contact me. (Also, I’ve updated the links in the below email.)

Best Regards,

Jacob

Dear *|FNAME|*,

Happy New Year! I hope that the holidays were relaxing and allowed you to recharge for another exciting year.

This year I will be making minor adjustments to the newsletter in order to help better serve readers.

The first change, is that I’m going to start splitting up how much content I put in each newsletter. I’ve received feedback that I produce too much content to consume. I hope spacing it out over two letters will help.

Below are links to the first articles for the month:

I also wanted to let readers know that we have launched the initial group of speakers for the 2022 Embedded Online Conference. You can register now using the code BENINGO for only $60. This is the lowest price that will be offered this year until the end of January!

Don’t forget to check below for upcoming events and other industry happenings this month!

Happy Coding,

Jacob

Upcoming Webinars

The Device Feedback Loop – What does it mean for IoT Operations and Development?

Abstract:

Join this interactive session with Percepio founder Dr. Johan Kraft and learn why the IoT industry is embracing the idea of a Device Feedback Loop to safeguard IoT operations. Based on interviews with senior stakeholders at leading OEMs, examples of relevant metrics are provided to illustrate how monitoring them could help your business. Afterward, you are welcome to join an open discussion in the Q&A session where you can hear additional views from other attendees and share your own experiences.

Getting Started with the Raspberry Pi Pico

Abstract:

Raspberry Pi’s have become a very popular application processor in industrial applications. However, they can be more horsepower and use more energy than needed for an application. In this course, we will explore the Raspberry Pi Pico, which is a multicore microcontroller-based Raspberry Pi board, and how it can be used in embedded applications.

This course will include the following sessions:

Session 1 – Introduction to the Raspberry Pi Pico
Session 2 – Writing your first Raspberry Pi Pico Application
Session 3 – Interfacing with Raspberry Pi Pico Peripherals
Session 4 – Designing Multicore Raspberry Pi Pico Applications
Session 5 – Using MicroPython on the Raspberry Pi Pico

Using Docker to Setup an STM32 Build Environment

In one of my previous posts, Introduction to Docker for Embedded Software Developers, we started to discuss Docker’s role in embedded software development. Docker provides a mechanism to set up our build environments in a container, making it easier to get new developers up and running. More importantly, Docker allows us to create a portable …
