Dear *|FNAME|*,

I hope that your summer is going well and that you are finding time to relax and recharge in between the hussle and bustle of embedded systems development!

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

By popular request, I am also launching a new technology primer Expert C Programming Techniques for Embedded Developers. The primer will consist of 52 blogs and 12 videos covering expert techniques and design patterns for developing embedded system in C. The Technology Primer is starting this week, but I’ve decided to extend the early bird price ($65) until July 31st. I hope you’ll join me!

Happy Coding,

Jacob

5 Resources for Learning Python

Python has become an indispensable tool to embedded software developers. Whether Python is being used to provide a GUI to control a system, acquire data or even used to write the embedded software (think MicroPython), chances are that Python has a place in your development process. In this article, we will present several resources that …

5 Tips for using Arm TrustZone in Cortex-M Processors

As embedded system developers transition to creating connected, IoT devices, security has become one of the most important issues they face. The ARMv8-M processors do support TrustZone® which provides developers with a new mechanism to help them isolate their secure software from more general user software. Just like with any new tool, there are several …

Designing Embedded Systems using MicroPython

The C/C++ programming languages have long dominated the embedded systems industry, with very few other languages being able to find a foothold. While languages such as Java and Ada have certainly tried, the popularity of Python has not only been on the rise but has been finding its way into Linux based applications for quite …

The Key Factor Being Ignored by IoT Developers

If you’ve been paying attention to the progress being made on the IoT, you’ve heard about the billions of IoT devices that are currently connected and the fact that in the next decade, experts expect to see over a trillion devices connected. A trillion devices. That is just mind boggling especially considering that standards are …

Expert C Programming Techniques for Embedded Developers

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.
