Embedded Online Free Conference, Reliable Systems, MicroPython and more …

May 2019

Dear *|FNAME|*,

Welcome to another issue of the Embedded Bytes Newsletter!

This month, there is a lot going on! On May 22nd, I will be hosting my second annual online conference which is free to attend! It will consist of 9 sessions given by experts around the world. You can learn more later in this newsletter or visit https://www.beningo.com/insights/conferences/. Recordings will be available for anyone who registers.

I have also pulled together several articles that I think provide a lot of value to you and the embedded systems industry. This months articles include:

Happy Coding,

7 Tips for Creating a Reliable Embedded System

Despite the hopes and dreams of many embedded engineers, reliable code doesn’t happen by accident. It is a painstaking process that requires developers to maintain and manage every bit and byte of the system. There is usually a sigh of relief when an application is validated “successfully” but just because the software is running correctly …

CEC – Machine Learning for Embedded Software Engineers

Artificial intelligence has long been a tool for developers working in high-performance computing and cloud-based systems. AI has transformed the way that networks are monitored, email is scanned and even the way we interact with our phones and devices. While AI and machine learning have always felt like a distant tool that lived outside real-time …

The MicroPython Pyboard Series-D Module

MicroPython has been an interesting project to watch over the last few years. If you’ve not heard of it, MicroPython is an open source project to port Python to run in a real-time, microcontroller-based environment. The ports typically are for Arm Cortex-M processors but there are several ports that run other architectures from Microchip and …

5 Techniques for Accelerating Engineering Develoment

It’s not uncommon for a software library, vendor or team to claim that they develop quality software. The problem with this proclamation is that the definition for quality can be interpreted quite differently between different developers and teams. One team may consider any code base that meets MISRA-C to be a quality code base while …

Embedded System Workshops

Bootloader Design Techniques for MCU’s

The ability to update firmware in the field or over-the-air is a critical component in every embedded system. The complexity and the skills necessary to successfully develop the capability to update firmware in the field are often under-estimated and result in buggy updates or bricked systems. The Bootloader Design Techniques for MCU’s Workshop walks engineers through every stage of the bootloader design process and provides hands-on examples and case studies to accelerate the engineers’ abilities and allow them to walk away with the skills and knowledge necessary to implement a bootloader on any microcontroller with any communication interface.

Session 1 – Bootloader System Overview
Session 2 – Bootloader Protocol and Bootloader Design
Session 3 – Bootloader Implementation Part 1
Session 4 – Bootloader Implementation Part 2
Session 5 – Secure Bootloaders and Advanced Techniques

Embedded Software Design Books

Reusable Firmware Development – A Practical Approach to API’s, HAL’s and Drivers
AVAILABLE NOW!

Gain the knowledge and skills necessary to improve your embedded software and benefit from author Jacob Beningo’s more than 15 years developing reusable and portable software for resource-constrained microcontroller-based systems. You will explore APIs, HALs, and driver development among other topics to acquire a solid foundation for improving your own software. Reusable Firmware Development: A Practical Approach to APIs, HALs and Drivers not only explains critical concepts, but also provides a plethora of examples, exercises, and case studies on how to use and implement the concepts.
