NXP MQX RTOS – a full-featured real-time operating system including the MQX Kernel, TCP/IP stack (RTCS), embedded MS-DOS file system (MFS), USB host/device stack, and more. The MQX multitasking kernel provides pre-emptive scheduling, fast interrupt response, extensive inter-process communication and synchronization facilities. MQX RTOS includes its own peripheral drivers. https://archiveos.org/mqx/ #operatingsystem #embedded

Time for another #Rust video! This time, I show how lifetimes and lifetime annotations work. They come up a lot when working with embassy, so it's useful to know what that 'a means.

Creating a file system on the onboard flash for my ebook reader so that configs, fonts, and somebody's favorite books could be stored there instead of on the sd card.
At first I was using the embassy_rp::flash API but the flash has an unusual 4KiB writes, 4-256 byte reads and things where just getting a little complicated.
Then I realized I could use the linker to map the flash and let my FAT32/16/12 library work on the array. And the flash interactions are handled the same way that code is. Cut my code size for dealing with the flash from several hundred to a couple dozen(not counting the filesystem stuff). I am currently erasing it every time I update the firmware but that's a problem for future me.
Next I need to make the device show up as a usb hub with 1 or 2 mass storage devices. 1 for the on board flash and 1 for the sd card.

The term #PhysicalAI seems to be gaining a lot of hype recently. The idea is simple: #AI systems that sense the world, make decisions, and influence real physical systems.
I wrote a short post on how this relates to robotics, #embedded systems, and #edgeAI.

Okay I'm doing a proper #introduction post! I've been here for only a few days so far.
I'm Eric, I'm in the #SFBayArea, punching keys in the #code mines.
I'm a #socialist, #TransitTooter and #BikeTooter and live #CarFree!
I'm also really interested in socially conscious #tech. I wonder how tech and #social issues overlap and inform each other. How do we imagine tech outside of capital? I'm learning #embedded and #OpenHardware using #rust! Tech and #transportation to the people!

The call for proposals for TDC - Trondheim's tech connection spot 2026 is open, and I have been told that their are looking for deep-tech topics especially on #embedded! After all, #Trondheim is Norway's tech capital. Don't miss out this opportunity to speak at a very well run international conference!
Submit your session proposals here: https://sessionize.com/tdc-2026/ ... and do not hesitate to submit, even if you are a first-time speaker! The audience and the team are super friendly!
Time for another embedded #Rust video! In this one, I combine the previous 6 episodes of knowledge to develop an I2C sensor driver (library/crate). Check it out!

I'm speaking with #ECE department heads at #ECEDHA (end of March) about integrating #edgeAI into university curricula. If you hire or mentor #embedded engineers, what skills are new grads missing? I’d love your input! I'll bring this feedback into the room. #education
On episode 521, Kenneth Finnegan( @kwf ) joins Chris( @stoneymonster ) and Elecia ( @logicalelegance ) to chat about accidentally contributing to the internet’s ability to network.

Here's an excerpt from the show:

Is it me, or management of Wi-Fi USB devices on #embedded #Linux platforms is particularly flaky?
I mean, some of my devices may work with certain kernel versions, some buildroot versions, and not others. In some cases, a device may be working once, then never again after a reboot.
This is delaying A LOT the upcoming release of #zeST. I am at a point in which I am tempted to remove everything related to Wi-Fi from the project.
Any experts on the subject here?
