I. The “Unsung Hero” in Embedded Development – HAL In the vast realm of embedded development, there is a crucial role that often remains “behind the scenes” – the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). It serves as a bridge connecting upper-level software applications with a diverse range of underlying hardware devices. For C++ embedded developers, a … Read more
Optimizing Program Size in Embedded C/C++ Development: Structure Optimization In <span>C</span> and <span>C++</span> programming, the memory layout of structures (<span>struct</span>) has a significant impact on program performance and memory usage, especially in embedded development where <span>RAM</span> is limited to <span>16K</span>, <span>8K</span>, or even <span>4K</span>; every byte counts, and there is no room for waste. This … Read more
Embedded Systems: The “Invisible Heroes” Around Us In today’s digital age, embedded systems are like “behind-the-scenes heroes,” quietly yet omnipresently integrated into our daily lives. When you are gently awakened by a smart alarm clock in the morning, it is the embedded system running in an orderly manner behind its precise timing function; stepping into … Read more
C++ Embedded Development: Achieving Efficient Programs on Resource-Constrained Devices Hey, friends, I am Xiaohui. Today, let’s talk about how to utilize some features of C++ in embedded development to ensure programs run efficiently on resource-constrained devices. Embedded devices have limited memory and weak processors, which means we need to make every resource count. Don’t worry, … Read more
Embedded systems, simply put, are computer systems embedded in various devices and machines, responsible for controlling and managing the operation of these devices. They are present in many aspects of daily life, from smartphones to cars, from home appliances to industrial equipment, almost everywhere. So, why are embedded systems so important? They often require efficient … Read more
