What this episode covers

Eric Hankinson, an instructor at Contextual Electronics and developer at Lean Dog, discusses the embedded software components of his online apprenticeship program. He explains how he uses Vagrant and VirtualBox to create consistent development environments for students using STMicroelectronics Nucleo-F030R8 boards and open-source tools like OpenOCD and KiCad. Hankinson also covers the pedagogical challenges of teaching bare-metal C programming, the role of CMSIS in hardware abstraction, and the transition from Arduino to more powerful microcontrollers.

    Creating Next-Gen Microcontroller Developer Tools and Equipping the People Who Use Them

    Rodger Richey, Vice President of Development Tools and Academic Programs at Microchip Technology, discusses the evolution of embedded development tools over his 30-year tenure. He explains how Microchip shifted its IDE support from NetBeans to VS Code to align with developer habits and details the integration of AI as an assistant for code generation and debugging rather than a replacement. Richey also highlights Microchip's academic initiatives, including virtual internships and hardware labs in India, designed to bridge the gap between theoretical education and practical engineering skills.

    An Interview with Dave Vandenbout - Xceptional XESS Xenagogue

    Dave Vandenbout of XS Corporation (XESS) discusses the history and current state of FPGA development, explaining why FPGAs remain a niche tool compared to microcontrollers due to the parallel vs. sequential programming paradigm. He details his modular board architecture, including the Zula and StickIt boards, which abstracts complex peripherals like SDRAM to lower the barrier to entry for students and engineers. Vandenbout also advocates for open-source hardware and software tools, specifically highlighting his shift from Eagle to KiCad and his interest in using Python-based MyHDL to simplify FPGA learning.
