Analysis of the Automatic Download Principle of ESP32

Recently, I came across an open-source project called meshtastic. It primarily builds a decentralized network using LoRa spread spectrum communication. In China, it is likely more suitable for mountainous areas and rescue communication scenarios, as we can make phone calls as long as we are not deep in the mountains. This project mainly uses the … Read more

Scheduling Strategies in RTOS Applications

Transitioning from bare-metal (front-back architecture) software development to using a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) can be a challenging task. However, there are many advantages to using an RTOS, such as simplifying application integration and supporting task preemption scheduling. This becomes meaningful when developers use complex 32-bit microcontrollers and have sufficient Flash and RAM space. Many … Read more
