I often use with success a simple way to implement a bootloader: #define START_MAGIC 0xAA55AA55 uint32_t start_application __attribute__((section=".noinit")); void main(void) { ... if (start_application == START_MAGIC) { start_application = ~START_MAGIC; launch_application(); } /* Stay in bootloader and wait for new application from * USART, SPI, USB, wha...

I usually don't touch linker script of my development system, sincerely I can't read every details of a linker script, so I'm in trouble now. As explained in my previous post, I need to avoid zeroing a static big variable, because it is allocated in SDRAM and SDRAM isn't available when zeroing of bss sections (and initialization of data sections) occurs. My development system allows me...

My platform is LPC546xx, Cortex-M4 by NXP, and the build environment is based on GCC ARM toolchain (MCUXpresso IDE). However the question is generic. The default linker script instructs linker to put bss sections (zero initialized data) in internal RAM. During startup, before main, bss sections, described in a table on Flash, are reset to zero: __attribute__ ((section(".after_vecto...

I am using several ds18b20 for projects, but every now an then some give temp 85.0 ° ?? without CRC error? What is causing this, is there a way to prevent this? Other question: Is there a way to connect ( and use) a DS18B20 (or other equivalent chip) on NodeMCU esp8266 ?? Many thanks in advances

Ospark.com's quote section took a gerber .zip file (generated by Eagle version 3.5) and said it couldn't find the board outline. It showed a few other problems too which have been fixed, thanks to several people showing working gerber code. Oshpark's need for a different form of board outline seems to be the only remaining difficulty. I'm hoping someone who has used Oshpark (or 4p...

I need to develop a custom board with WiFi connectivity and a UART(RS485). The UART will be connected to a proprietary device with a proprietary protocol, no problem on this. The board should connect to a MQTT server through WiFi. I don't know if I will choose a "transparent" WiFi module, implementing all TCP/IP stack and MQTT protocol on the host controller, or choose a "full-featur...

I'm setting up a household water-tank level sensor that I'd like to be able to monitor from (practically) anywhere to a mobile device or remote PCusing the above-mentioned ESP8266-based setup. The device is sampling at 5min intervals, each sample is a single integer range 0 - 230 (cm of water height). Also toggling a 'heartbeat' boolean variable to indicate it's still alive. Just

Until now, I was not be able to arrange a full unit testing for any of my projects, but I want to invest some time to learn this method of development. There are plenty C unit testing frameworks out there. I think the most used are Unity[1] and Cpputest[2]. It seems to me others aren't oriented to embedded and/or C language (but C++). I read many comparisons among unit testing framew...

The Idea was to bypass the lame gui using the cmdline opts but it can't combine on export. So the second try was just translating then doing the 1hour-clicky-dance to combine everyhing. But as it turns out it's also unable to rotate on cmdline. (gerbv version 2.6.0) Avoid gerbv for panelizong. it is utterly hosed software. Here's my notes: combining boards dimensions: 16-d...
