We recently introduced the CMSIS RTOS, an API that increases RTOS portability. It’s often called a “wrapper” for other RTOS, but how good can a wrapper possibly be at managing variables or primitives like semaphores and mutexes? In this Engineering Hour, we’ll find out. Seasoned IoT developer Edison Ngunjiri will start by defining mutexes and […]

In our last Yocto Tech Tips, Ming helped us understand the importance of a software bill of materials (SBOM) and correctly implementing one in your Yocto build. But why would you need an SBOM in the first place? A couple of reasons are vulnerability tracking and ensuring license compliance. In this Tech Tips, Ming will […]

Join the DevHeads weekly community meetup, Office Hours, where we get together to discuss: * Topics of interest to the technology engineering community * Collaborate to solve common and uncommon problems * Share real-world case studies and resources * And more The format is always the same but the discussion focus always changes, so login, […]

Every design starts somewhere, and overwhelmingly that somewhere is a development board or kit. Dev boards, which started out as marketing tools, have become a staple in prototyping and development workflows. So where’s the best place for you to start your next design?

The last few Engineering Hour sessions introduced us to the CMSIS RTOS, an API that handles interfacing with other RTOS. In this week’s Engineering Hour, we take the proverbial top off and dive into the inner workings of perhaps the most popular RTOS on the market today: FreeRTOS.

In this DevHeads Engineering Hour session, we'll build on what we've learned with the CMSIS RTOS API to establish the foundations of working with FreeRTOS.

Join us as we explore key factors to consider when selecting the best cloud solution for your IoT projects. From scalability and security to data management and integration, this session will help you make informed decisions to optimize your IoT deployments, with our IoT Advisor and Trainer guest, Lukasz Malinowski. Perfect for developers, engineers, and decision-makers looking to elevate their IoT systems with the right cloud platform!

In this REHEAT, IoT expert Umesh Lokhande covers FreeRTOS essentials like kernel configuration, task management, and key APIs. It culminates in a multi-tasking project demo that shows how you can apply the capabilities of FreeRTOS in real-world scenarios.

Getting the hang of FreeRTOS? In this week's Engineering Hour, we keep pushing ahead with the world's most popular RTOS by exploring Message Queues and Intertask Communication. Join the DevHeads and IoT professional Umesh Lokhande as we dive into:

Virtualization is a trick of computing that makes applications believe they own all of a given resource, when in fact they are sharing resources with other workloads.
