484: Collecting My Unhelpful Badge

Embedded.fm · 5 Sept 2024 · 1h 02m · Episode 484

What this episode covers

Elecia White and Christopher White discuss embedded software engineering challenges, including using semihosting for debugging STM32 microcontrollers when UARTs are unavailable, and strategies for navigating new codebases. They address the pitfalls of choosing microcontrollers without firmware input, highlighting risks like NDAs and lack of community support, and speculate on the documentation quality of the new RP2350. The conversation also covers career advice, such as building skills through a 'skills tree' and the value of master's degrees in embedded systems.
