Often I have digital inputs connected to switches managed by the user. For example: microswitches, tactile switches, push-buttons, dip-switches, simple jumpers and so on. What is your preferred method to read the status of this inputs? I usually arrange a debounce method for reading push-buttons and similars (tactile switches, micro-switches...) and I know there are many (many many) ...

We need to synchronize clocks (so we can synchronize audio) on physically separated controllers that are connected via ethernet that may or may not be connected to the internet. The controllers have ARM9 LPC3250 SOM and embedded Linux. We need to synch with no more than 50 ms difference but preferably less. Synchronization needs to continue working between any two controllers reg

--- 1.c --- void foo(void) { dummy("hello"); } --- 2.c --- static const char *s; void dummy(const char *ss) { s = ss; } "hello" is a constant string declared inside function foo(). Is there a guarantee that his pointer (passed to dummy()) is valid after exiting foo()? In other words, is the string on the stack (in this case it will not be valid after foo()) or in F...

Hi I'm a software engineer wondering about a hardware solution. We currently have a product that uses an ATA to convert audio to IP to send to a remote device where an ATA converts digital back to audio. We dial the ATA to tell it where we want the audio to go. We need to allow up to 63 remote devices to simultaneously receive one-way outgoing audio (speech and maybe background

Hi, For a few years I couldn't use my Banana Pi M3 for any serious work, because I couldn't compile the optimized Linux image for it. Yesterday I've managed to create a Buildroot configuration that allows building of BR image for it. Thanks to use of 4.18.6 kernel the SMP is supported and all 8 cores are working. The sources are available on alt.sources: https://groups.google.com/for

Hi Folks- I'm having a problem in which the OpenSTM32 System Workbench debugger reports ?Warn : no flash bank found for address 20000000?...

Hi Folks- I'm having a problem in which the OpenSTM32 System Workbench debugger reports ?Warn : no flash bank found for address 20000000? when I flash my STM32 target using System Workbench. The debugger then fails the binary compare process and prevents me from debugging. My linker script defines a memory region called DTCM which is mapped to RAM starting at 0x20000000 for 64K b

I have a large design that is based on Rabbit 6700 board and using Dynamic C 10.72A version. The main source code has about 600 lines, many of which, there are many self created library used. The error I am constantly having the problem is "ERROR STRING.C : Out of root code space." Does anyone know what have I possibly went wrong or what should I do in order to solve this error? Thanks,...

Anyone using Gerbv as a Gerber viewer? I'm having a problem where a few drill locations in a drill file look out of location. I seem to have narrowed the problem to the use of trailing zero suppression. I can verify the drill file (which contains only line feeds it appears, so not so easy to view) has a few entries with the trailing zero suppressed. In Gerbv these are all being

Does anyone know anything about DDCMP and the 68302 chip. We have some software that uses it in asynchronous mode over RS485 and we want to see if we can emulate the DDCMP behaviour on another product without the 68302 micro so that we can communicate with the existing product but from a new device with a different microprocessor. The 68302 manual says that in asynch mode when i

Following on from my recent question about PThreads I have a new question about Boost:context https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_67_0/libs/context/doc/html/index.html We have some legacy code(Motorola 68000 C) that we want to use that has cooperative task switching. We want to run it all as a single thread and keep its co-operative organization within that thread. Is "Boost context" a
