https://www.zephyrproject.org/ What do you think of this project? An open-source full-featured RTOS that runs on many dev boards with 32-bits MCU/MPU, with or without memory protection. From the Linux Foundation. I didn't know it, until now.

I have periodically reviewed the e-Ink market looking for usable products without a lot of experimentation. Most of what I find are displays without driver boards, a few high priced combos of displays with separate driver boards, but few docs and very few displays an driver boards with some sort of docs and/or library support. The one thing that always seems to be missing is an ea

I'm working on a Cortex-M4 MCU and using FreeRTOS. One task: uint32_t wait_period; while(1) { // make some things vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(wait_period)); } The following function can be called from another task: void set_waiting_period(uint32_t new_period) { wait_period = new_period; } In this case, is it needed to protect the access of the shared variable wait_pe...

In C, most of the standard library is mandatory for hosted implementations only, not for freestadning implementations. Still, I see many functions, such as memcpy() and abs() often used in programs for embedded systems, and see no obstacles to implementing them even on small systems. Should more of the standard library become mandatory for freestanding implementations? For string.h, I h...

Poor man's PWM

With "few" intensity levels desired, I plan to drive LED with a crude PWM signal directly from an IRQ (i.e., push bits out a hardware port at each IRQ). But, instead of having N different times at which the IRQ might be signalled (for the N+1 different duty cycles) in each refresh interval, I plan on having log2(N) times, each delimiting an period "twice" as long as the previous. This ke...

In the Forth language group there are occasional discussions of custom processors. This is mostly because a simple stack processor can be designed to be implemented in an FPGA very easily, taking little resources and running at a good speed. Such a stack processor is a good target for Forth. I know there are many other types of CPU designs which are implemented in FPGAs. I'm w

The STM32F412 Discovery kit featiuring the STM32F412ZGT6 Anyone know where I might find this one ? Downloaded the Cube patch but I don't think I see the demo in there for this board. boB K7IQ
On log or in log?

Writing a log object (as in log file, say logging accessed addresses using a browser) and the question "do I put something _on_ the log or do I put it _in_ the log"is bugging me, obviously enough so I thought I'd ask. Some vague googling returned only about "log in"vs. "log on" which I did not even check if it was relevant. My memory seems to say "on", my inherent inclination is to say "in...

I try to get PCIe working in congatec SMX8 connected to the conga-SKIT/ARM i.MX8 motherboard. I use it with XTRX software radio module from Fairwaves. Unfortunately, the PCIe controller does not start both with XTRX connected directly to MiniPCIe slot and with XTRX connected via original adapter to the M2 slot. I get the following in the dmesg: 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU ...
