Embedded Online Conference, and more …

April 2021 – Issue #095

Dear *|FNAME|*,

Welcome back to the Embedded Bytes Newsletter! I have several exciting announcements for this issue:

First, this month I’ve pulled together several articles that I believe you will find interesting and will help enhance your embedded skillset. The articles include:

Second, I am speaking at the DesignNews Digikey CEC on April 26 – 30 on Machine Learning Application Design using STM32 MCUs.

Finally, on April 20th I will be hosting session 1 of my new Designing and Building RTOS-Based Applications course with live and recorded sessions. You can register now to get in and learn how to design RTOS applications.

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.

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!

A Simple, Scalable RTOS Initialization Design Pattern

I often find that developers initialize task code in seemingly random places throughout their application. This can make it difficult to make changes to the tasks, but more importantly just difficult to understand what all is happening in the application. It also makes it so that the application is not very scalable or easy to …

Celebrating the Microprocessors 50th Birthday

Happy 50th Birthday to the microprocessor! This month, 50 years ago, the first microprocessor became commercially available, the Intel 4004. This little 4-bit processor launched a revolution that has not only kept electrical and software engineers busy, but has completely revolutionized, well, everything! It’s quite interesting that the original intent for the 4004 processor was …

CEC – Introduction to Multicore RTOS-based Application Development

We live in a data centric world, whether that data is used to track and predict weather patterns, web traffic or analyze sensor results. The amount of data available is becoming large and complex, to the point that it is difficult for humans to recognize the patterns and write the software. Machine learning is a popular solution that has been …

Tools – STM32Cube.AI for Machine Learning Applications

Machine Learning has the embedded systems industry buzzing as new tools and capabilities become available for us developers to implement in our systems. Machine Learning on Arm Cortex-M type microcontrollers is still relatively new, but there are some very interesting tools available that make it easier for developers to integrate a trained model into their …

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]
