I've been knee-deep in embedded systems and embedded firmware development since the late 90s back when 8-bit microcontrollers were still kings and debuggers were luxury items most of us couldn't afford. Recently, I was working with…
Your competitors are already using AI to develop embedded systems 3x faster. Here's the insider knowledge you need to catch up and get ahead. The Problem: Generic AI Tools Don't Understand Hardware We've all seen the…
If you’ve ever tried to get a firmware project off the ground using a complex microcontroller, you know the real challenge doesn’t always lie in writing code, it lies in understanding the system well enough to…
One of my favorite creators on YouTube is Destin, of SmarterEveryDay fame. A few years ago, this mysterious object in the corner of his videos caught my eye. Every so often, the lights moved in what…
I recently asked my self-hosted Ollama server to write a haiku about firmware engineers. It came back with this: Code whispers life, Bridging silicon and soul, Invisible art. Surprisingly, it captured the essence of embedded firmware.…
I’ve spent over 20 years helping companies build embedded systems, from quick proof-of-concept demos to production hardware. Along the way, I’ve seen what makes projects succeed and what makes them fail. If you’re starting an embedded…
