I am applying for university right now and I am wondering which engineering degree is better for working on embedded systems and IOT: "Computer engineering" vs "electronics and communication engineering" also a specific university offers "computer and communication engineering" I know that having any of those I can get into IoT but which would be better for the field? -------------------------...

I usually prints some messages on a free UART used as a debug port. They are very useful during debugging to understand the flow of execution. Most of the time, I don't compile the debug log facility in release build. I sometimes need to disable messages from some modules and enable messages from other modules under debugging. Moreover I sometimes need to enable/disable less important m...

Hi folks- Does anybody know what memory devices are embedded in the Datakey memory tokens? For example, this part: http://datakey.com/downloads/SST_Series_DS_REVD.pdf which is from datakey.com. I'm pretty sure these devices are just embedded serial EEPROMs but Datakey doesn't reveal the part inside. Thanks - John

Hi So, considering going the Cortex Mx route for project with new microcontrollers at our firm. Has anyone a feeling/information about the development speed of the ARM Cortex Mx series vs the rest of the industry? Meaning, that potentially the same core strategy for the ARM, licensing to toher manufactors mean that they may have faster development speed that others (Microchip, Renesas, wh...

Hi Recently more and more companies want to add security (authentication and/or encryption) to their devices firmware install/update process. Typically this is done by storing a secret encryption key in bootloader or elsewhere in internal MCU flash. This should work if bootloader is installed in secure facility by trusted people. But then manufacturing is outsourced/offshored and t

Hi, Can someone kindly let me know on the method of enabling driver for Processor Serial IO (SIO) - I2C in linux kernel 3.16-lts for Intel BayTrail E3805. Can you please confirm whether the driver is available by default in linux kernel or should we need to integrate it ? Thanks in advans, Karthik Balaguru

Joe, I sent my business laptop on, ahead (your contact information contained within : < ) so I won't have access to it until late tomorrow (assuming it is delivered when they CLAIM it will be!) Please check the "Release\Joe" directory on Betty for those items. Any problems, use my private email account, it will find me (I won't have easy access to USENET or the other public forums while

I hacked together my "IP cameras" using some web cams for which I was able to track down some FOSS i/f implementation documentation. This was OK for a proof of concept. But, I now have to settle on "production" hardware. There seem to be a variety of i/f's for cameras: - RS170 (requires hardware to digitize the signal; inflexible) - parallel (video is digized, just needs to be captured a...

Maybe this question should be posted in a linux development group, however the use of a serial port is more typical in an embedded environment, so I try to post here. I have an embedded Linux box (based on a Raspberry) with a serial port converted to a USB port through a UART-USB transceiver from Microchip. This USB port is seen as a COM port under Windows OS. I need to do simple ope...

Most of my designs have been ultimately constrained by the resources available *in* the design (which, in turn, is usually dictated by price, power and/or size constraints). I've been discussing this with colleagues who have invariably had similar experiences. None of us could "upgrade" a product after release. You might change the feature set or fix bugs but the complexity of the produc...
