#019: END-OF-YEAR CELEBRATION: Moments You Loved, Stories You Missed, and 2026 Predictions You Need

Coredump Sessions · 11 Dec 2025 · 55m · Episode 20

What this episode covers

François Baldassari and Chris Coleman, co-founders of Memfault, reflect on the 20th episode of Coredump Sessions, highlighting lessons from guests like Nick Sinas of Oval, Dan Mangum of Golioth, and Chad from Gabb. They discuss the critical importance of Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, the rise of AI-assisted firmware development using tools like Claude and Cursor, and the evolving security landscape for devices from Pebble to modern smart rings. The hosts predict that 2026 will see OTA become a regulatory requirement and AI offload processing to the edge, while emphasizing the need for engineers to adapt to higher-level abstractions.

    390: Irresponsible At the Time

    Tyler Hoffman, co-founder of Memfault, discusses the challenges of managing firmware updates, device diagnostics, and remote monitoring for millions of IoT devices. He draws on his experience at Pebble and Fitbit to explain why existing cloud platforms are often unsuitable for resource-constrained embedded systems, highlighting the need for secure boot, staged rollouts, and efficient heartbeat reporting. Hoffman details how Memfault’s platform helps engineers detect crashes, track battery life trends, and prioritize bugs by aggregating data from large device fleets. The conversation emphasizes the importance of defensive programming and building robust OTA systems to prevent bricking devices at scale.

    François Baldassari from Memfault on IoT Observability

    François Baldassari, founder and CEO of Memfault, discusses the evolution of embedded software and the critical need for IoT observability tools. He recounts his experience at Pebble, where a lack of field data led to a severe firmware update bug affecting Android users, which inspired the creation of Memfault's crash reporting and OTA solutions. Baldassari argues that modern embedded teams must adopt agile practices, such as decoupling software from hardware via emulators and implementing 'day 0 updates,' to iterate effectively. He highlights persistent industry challenges, including C language memory management issues, code space constraints, and the emerging crisis of embedded security and privacy.

    Ep. 11 | Real-Time Edge Processing: Get to Market Faster with Future-Proofed Designs

    Richard Barry, founder of FreeRTOS and senior principal engineer at Amazon Web Services, discusses the shift toward real-time edge processing in IoT devices. He explains how microcontrollers are handling more complex workloads, including machine learning and connectivity, which creates significant knowledge gaps for engineers specializing in single domains like motor control. Barry details AWS's fleet provisioning strategies, such as Just-in-Time Registration and Fleet Provisioning by Claim, to secure devices at scale without pre-registration. He emphasizes future-proofing designs through Over-the-Air (OTA) updates and using pre-integrated, open-source libraries like FreeRTOS to manage undifferentiating functionality.
