In case of the i.MX6 SoC I do the training and calibration and the recommended register values obtained is provided to U-boot. So now when U-boot starts up it starts on the SoC inbuilt SRAM which is very less (a few kilobytes). Once the fir

Why do companies have to move out of service business? There are so many companies which would give complete product development to service companies because it is not in their domain of expertise. Personally they should have improved upon

I am based out of India. Here quite a lot of projects going into big service/outsourcing companies for some reason. Many of the projects fail but I have seen their customers still send their projects there. The pattern that I see nowad

You can always get MSP430 Launchpads at $9.99 which comes with a MSP430G2x in a DIP. You can breadboard it if you want or you can run it on the board itself. The individual MSP430G2x are also pretty cheap. So if you blow one up you can alwa

I too have a decent lab at home and would like to get into similar work as you. Would you mind if you can elaborate on how you get business? From what I have seen most of the customers would like to give their business to their trusted part

Great list! I too am a embedded engineer and use the stuff you mentioned in my office. The most important thing for me is the scope because I develop bare metal firmware (includes drivers etc) for both SoCs and microcontrollers. I use a Rig

Genuinely curious as to why you say Europe has handicapped its business? They are just more regulated. If the businesses are handicapped why is Germany still a giant in manufacturing?

Do you have to be medicated all through your life or can it be improved by slowly weaning off of it? Please do not misunderstand but the reason why I am asking this is because of a genuine concern for people like you to be able to control t

I don't understand the medical treatment thing. Why is it so that everything has to be treated? What do you define as ideal? People have different types of personalities and it is necessary in the system. In my opinion it is better to

No it is not. It all depends on the area in Bangalore. Most of the time the sockets would not be available because of high demand and very low supply (because of no interest in expanding the capacity). The government owned BSNL has problem
