If you've ever tried to test J1939 diagnostics tooling, integrate a telematics app, or just learn how heavy-duty vehicle networks work, you've proba…
New here? Start with the overview . Before the rules, a debt. These are not mine alone; they are the labor of a whole career, and every one of them…
A weekly deep dive into a fixed-frequency serial-tone waveform, one block at a time. High-frequency (HF) radio is the communications system that ref…
On a phone with a single microphone, call noise reduction cannot work the way it does on flagship smartphones. There is no second microphone signal…
Computers and smartphones are becoming more powerful every year. So I've been thinking about a simple question: Why do we still need small microcont…
If you can write index.php , you can already program a microcontroller. That's not a metaphor. PHP on ESP32 just hit 1.0.0 — the first official rele…
Arm64 platform direction dominated this week: Will Deacon posted v2 of the series that removes big-endian kernel support, aimed at Linux 7.4, and a…
What the Arduino VENTUNO Q Signals for Local AI and Robotics Arduino’s VENTUNO Q is a clear sign that edge AI hardware is moving beyond simple infer…
A Linux safety certification is a statement about one defined software configuration running on named hardware, assessed by a named body. It is not…
A sealed logging card is a thickness problem before it is an electronics problem. Every subsystem sits downstream of one decision: how the millimetr…
If you are building the ingestion side of a cold chain or asset tracking platform, there is a category of bug that does not show up in staging, does…
Building an Industrial HMI and Edge Controller on STM32 with FreeRTOS and Modbus TCP Industrial control demos are often judged by the screen. The mo…
Hardware Abstraction for Robotics: Connecting Sensors and Actuators Introduction Robots interact with the physical world through hardware. Sensors p…
The Automotive Grade Linux distribution is not one release on one baseline. As of 26 August 2026 its release-notes page documents three listed relea…
For most embedded products with a fixed set of services and no user-installable software, BusyBox init is the right default: small, no dependency ch…
I keep seeing Pi Zero + MPU-9250 threads where SDA/SCL look right and i2cdetect is empty — or the GPIO dies after a 5V VCC. Pi GPIO is 3.3V tolerant…
Next week we ship the Bitaxe Naja Duo , and the spec that matters is 9.5 joules per terahash at stock. First open-source home miner under 10. But th…
Buildroot builds a cross-compiler, a Linux kernel and a complete root filesystem from source, driven by one Kconfig-style configuration file. Starti…
For hardware your company owns and intends to ship for years, default to putting the driver in mainline and carrying only the part you have not land…
The Linux DMA API exists because the address a device uses is not the address the CPU uses, and because on most embedded SoCs the CPU cache is not k…
On most embedded Linux products the kernel carries the description of the board. Under Arm's SystemReady Devicetree band it does not: the platform f…
LighthouseReckoning LighthouseReckoning is a lightweight LoRa mesh networking library for Arduino-compatible microcontrollers, currently tested on E…
Controller Area Network (CAN) is one of those technologies that quietly powers a huge number of embedded systems. It is commonly found in cars, EVs,…
I wanted to see if an ESP32-S3 could be used as a programmer for the WCH CH32V003 instead of using a dedicated WCH-Link. The final setup is: PC → ES…
The hardest failures in low-power IoT are often not total silence. They show up as partial signals: battery voltage drifting down, RSSI getting wors…
Your storage hardware narrows the choice first: raw NAND requires UBIFS on UBI; ext4 and f2fs are not candidates there. On managed flash such as eMM…
Hard debugging is rarely defeated by a lack of tools. It is defeated by three quiet habits: assuming the fault is where the symptom appears, clingin…
Linux 7.2 is expected as a stable release around 16 August 2026, so teams carrying an embedded BSP should test against the release candidates now, e…
