As you know, I'm playing with STM32 and CubeMX autogeneration code tool. I don't like ST HAL libraries generated by CubeMX, but this is my first approach to STM32 MCUs and CubeMX tool lets me have a fully-functional project in minutes. Maybe I will rewrite some HAL drivers in the future, but at the moment I'd like to leave with them. Now I have to add FreeRTOS and this is very simple wi...

I worked with NXP Cortex-M3 LPC1768 and similar and Microchip/Atmel SAM D20/C21. I didn't like Atmel Software Framework so I extracted a buch of low-level files from ASF (mainly headers to manipulate registers) and rewrite the high-level drivers for peripherals I used (UART, ADC, Timers, ...) It wasn't a simple task, I spent many days to understand what ASF really do, decide what to ...

Many free IDE from silicon vendors (such as ST and NXP) are Eclipse-CDT based. Could you suggest a good .gitignore file? Mainly I don't know if it's better to ignore or add .settings folder, .project and .cproject files. I think it's useful to add in CVS the options passed to compiler and linker, so another use could checkout and compile in the same way.

My holy grail has always been a simple CPU combined with an smallish FPGA. There are a few out there, very few, but none of them are available in appropriate packages and inexpensive. I've found a couple of Chinese startups that seem to have some interesting devices. AGM has the AG6K, a 6k LUT with 250 MHz ARM in a QFP100, pretty much the perfect part. Trouble is I can't tell

Hi, I had to develop a system based on Nvidia Jetson Nano board, which required compilation of my own drivers and modification of original device tree. Unfortunately, it appeared that the original development envirnoment was very unconvenient. E.g., I was forced to install closed source binaries (like "SDK manager") and give them root access to my development host. I have found the scripts th...

I have a device with an Ethernet connection that the user usually connects to ADSL router. I'd like to offert a 4G connectivity too. I could replace the Ethernet adapter board with a 4G adapter board, but the effort is too high for us. So I'm thinking to use a 4G router, that is similar to ADSL router, but has a 4G modem instead of ADSL model. There are many products available on the...

I often work on embedded firmware for MCUs connected by a multidrop master/slave RS485 bus. Moreover I try to compile the same code with mingw compiler, simulating the hw. Of course, I simulate the serial bus connection (UART) by using a COM port on Windows. This allows me to speed-up testing, debugging and so on. So I can launch many simulators of the same device or different devices...
