My Zephyr RTOS notes

Started 9Jul2019 as chapters being moved from other notes. Updated 25Sep2023 («A9 SoC on Xilinx») This page is in group Technology and is a blog note where I will try to keep a scratchpad of what I might find out about the Zephyr RTOS. Sharing Zephyr with others Because I was rather confused I have had help […]

My embedded RTOS notes

Started 8Jan2019, updated 9Nov2021 (Timed C) This page is in group Technology and is a blog note where I will try to have a fresh view (as of 2019) of what might be going on with concurrency and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) in the small embedded systems world. Here I would think mostly of what might run […]

xC code examples

Started 2Feb2018, updated 13May2021 This page is in group Technology (plus My XMOS pages) and is a blog note with some XMOS xC code examples. I also have some ported code that I thought may be placed here. I also am describing some problems.  None of this is on GitHub. I guess that the parent note is xC […]

Me relying on relaying BLE?

Started 7Dec2017. Concluded 23Dec2017 This page is in group Technology (plus My XMOS pages) and is a blog note where I will discuss the route ahead. Should I do the My WiFi101 library port as I promised myself to try, or should I add a second box that I talk with over BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)? Conclusion 23Dec2017: I did neither; […]

My Piggyback WiFi1500 sliceCARD

Started 6Oct2017. Udated 10Aug2018 This page is in group Technology (plus My XMOS pages) and is a blog note where I will try to describe a WiFi card (that I call PiggyBack WiFi1500 sliceCARD) that is meant to replace another WiFi board (XMOS WiFi sliceCARD) and be a pin plug-in replacement, meant for the two XMOS boards startKIT and […]

Replicated select case) This page is in group Technology (plus My XMOS pages) and is a blog note trying to scribble down some info about the XMOS xC language that I haven’t found elsewhere. I love it. But, alas, xC appears as C plus unknown X. […]

I have discovered something called MC/DC which stands for Modified Condition/Decision Coverage. Here’s an example of some of the different parts of code that need to be tested for coverage (from [1]): if (Entree […]
