Apply modern C++ to that module. Use constexpr for configuration constants. Replace raw arrays with std::array. Wrap resource ...

Embedded systems have always been about squeezing every ounce of performance from limited hardware. From hand-optimized assembly to finely tuned C, we’ve spent years writing efficient code, minimizing ...

Embedded-software technology appears to lag behind new trends. That's largely because embedded developers have a cautious, conservative attitude that comes from years of experience contending with ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...

In the last lesson, you encountered the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and you worked out a manual procedure of switching the context from one thread to another. In this lesson, ...
