These days the up-and-coming RTOS isn't something proprietary. And you might be surprised to know it's also not FreeRTOS. Meet Zephyr. Zephyr is a Linux Foundation project, which explains based on devicetree configuration and CMake build system. But wait, didn't you say it was an RTOS? Join this DevHeads Office Hours session as developer and […]
In the last Engineering Hour we reviewed driver development for the UART protocol. This week, we’re moving onto I2C drivers. So, on Sunday, June 2nd, get ready to dive into I2C: * Protocol * Frame format * Slave addresses * Interfacing with other I2C devices After we get through that overview, stick around for a […]
