Or have some drinks with EEs and get them to value software development ease of use: things like using top of the line, or at least midrange MCU with enough flash for debug builds, populating debug connectors on EVT builds etc
- jake_morrison 7y agoIn one memorable project the hardware guys grudgingly agreed to waste money and give the system enough resources to run Linux. But they chose a cheaper ARM CPU without a MMU or hardware floating point. That meant it would not run shared libraries, everything was statically linked. We ran out of space in the Flash, and the project was in crisis. The solution was using a lua interpreter. These days, I like high level platforms like Nerves: https://www.nerves-project.org/ https://www.nerves-project.org/
- hak8or 7y agoAre you affiliated in any way to the nerves project? I skimmed the home page and couldn't find out what it is exactly. Is it an elixer framework and related bootstrap code targeting towards running on mmu-less arm cortex m microcontrollers? Or on an embedded liux system? Or is this just a rest endpoint somehow?
