Embedded systems engineering is fascinating to me because it is a field that is constantly changing and evolving. The dynamic nature of the field is taking place at an ever-accelerating rate, which means it keeps the practitioners on their toes to constantly learn, adapt and innovate. If a team or individual wants to be successful, they can’t be complacent but need to be continually honing their skill set. In today’s post, I’ll share several tips for how engineers can hone their skills and ensure that they don’t become stale. Tip #1 – Participate in IEEE groups and events

by Max Maxfield Are you familiar with the Tracealyzer and DevAlert tools from Percepio? How about the Luos distributed (not exactly an) operating system from Luos? I don’t know about you, but for me, the past few days have been jam-packed with my learning all sorts of exciting nuggets of knowledge and tidbits of trivia pertaining to the implementing, monitoring, and debugging of embedded systems using these little scamps. I’m not too sure where to commence, so let’s all take a deep breath, start at the beginning, wend our way through the middle, and — hopefully —...

Robust Software Design Necessary for Multithreaded Software Visual Trace Diagnostics Can Assist in Design Verification Västerås, Sweden, 4 May 2021   * * *   Percepio ® CEO Dr. Johan Kraft will present a selection of best practices in multithreaded embedded software design at the upcoming Embedded Online Conference, 17–20 May. Dr. Kraft will also discuss the concept of visual trace diagnostics and demonstrate how it can be used to analyze multithreaded software design in order to improve system performance and reliability. “Developing reliable real-time applications is easier sai...

by Max Maxfield I can’t believe it; we’ve finally arrived at the ultimate part of what started out as a mini-series and ended up being a mega-epic. In a moment, we’re going to consider FPGA (hardware) and MCU (software) solutions to the switch bounce problem, but first… Just in case you arrived late to the party, in Part 1 we introduced the concept of switch bounce; in Part 2 we delved deeper into the bouncing associated with SPST and SPDT switches; in Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5 we considered how to debounce our switches using RC networks, monostable multivibrators...
