The topic of this discussion is as above, sharing my views on this issue. The choice of development tools, or rather the choice of technical route, is theoretically the primary aspect that needs to be clarified. The scope of discussion is: development of motor simulation or electric drive system simulation toolchains. When deciding which development … Read more
During the configuration of Zephyr, one often encounters inexplicable errors. the toolchain is unable to build a dummy C file. Feeling helpless, right? No one to help you? Solution: 1 Check the CMake version, use the recommended version, and avoid using a version that is too high; if it is too high, uninstall and reinstall. … Read more

Core Differences: Terraform is an “infrastructure orchestration tool” (responsible for “what to build and where to build it”, such as creating cloud servers and networks), while Ansible is a “configuration management tool” (responsible for “what to install and set after building”, such as deploying software and modifying configurations). The core use cases of the two … Read more
Introduction: In 2025, as the wave of AI sweeps through the electronic design industry, will PCB engineers still have stable jobs? With AI auto-routing tools capable of completing 80% of routine tasks, and the price of NVIDIA’s AI server PCB boards soaring to three times that of traditional products, is high-speed PCB design outsourcing a … Read more
“In embedded development, target devices often cannot compile locally due to limited resources. Cross-compilation becomes a key technology—using a powerful host platform and a dedicated toolchain to generate executable code for the target platform. This article elaborates on its concepts and general processes, detailing cross-compilation implementation with examples from the three major architectures: ARM, MIPS, … Read more
