Engineering notes
Firmware and Power
Low-power firmware, starting from what the board actually draws rather than what the datasheet promises. Our work has included characterising boot and receive current, a documented power calculation, FreeRTOS on STM32, interrupt-driven UART and SPI drivers, bootloaders over Ethernet and RS485, and boot time reduction on embedded Linux. Articles cover RTOS or bare metal, C++ for embedded and the cost of firmware rework.
