Google is working on a new operating system named Fuchsia: ‘Pink + Purple == Fuchsia (a new Operating System).’ At LinuxCon last year, Linus Torvalds said that the Linux kernel has grown so big that if someone wants a really tiny kernel they would have to look elsewhere. Maybe for this reason Google is developing →

Expressif has released a new WiFi chip. It is not that interesting ESP32 that I have written about earlier, and should be available soon. The new ESP8285 went into mass production in March. Hackaday article describes it as ESP8266-Killer, but I I think that this kind of headline is clickbaiting. What could possible make it →

RGB LEDs are awesome – especially the new, fancy ones with the WS2812 RGB LED driver. These LEDs can be individually controlled to display red, green, and blue, but interfacing them with a microcontroller or computer. To test controlling WS2812 RGB LEDs I bought a cheap addressable LED strip. An addressable RGB LED strip is →

Here is some very interesting reading related to the obvious buzzword of the year, The Internet of Things.  This article series I was tipped to take a look is about embedded firmware hacking and reverse engineering of an IoT device, a TomTom Runner GPS Smartwatch. Hacking Smartwatches – the TomTom Runner, part 1 article introduces →

Using JavaScript is a new approach for embedded development, especially with node.js platform. But there are also other interesting JavaScript platforms worth to check out. I read about Finnish developed the open source “duct tape” and thought to check that out: Duktape is an embeddable Javascript engine, with a focus on portability and compact footprint. →

Finland has received a new technology trade magazine focusing on developing new technology: Uusi Teknologia (=new technology).  Uusi Teknologia magazine’s first issue devoted to IoT solutions, industrial, internet security and future 5G mobile solutions as well as intelligent interactive textiles. Also included are high-end oscilloscopes and a new ways to program embedded systems. The magazine →

The idea for this posting started when I read New approaches to dominate in embedded development article. Then I found some ther related articles and here is the result: long article. Embedded devices, or embedded systems, are specialized computer systems that constitute components of larger electromechanical systems with which they interface. The advent of low-cost →
