In this fourth lesson in the Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) series, you’ll see how to replace the horribly inefficient polling delay with efficient thread blocking. Specifically, in this lesson 25, ...

As we continue the series on Embedded Systems Programming, this article will present the 2nd part, which is about the hardware or the peripheral circuitry required to run a microprocessor. It ...

In contrast, a hardware interrupt can occur at any machine instruction, meaning an ISR can be activated at any point in the code. Such implicit activation is not synchronized with the main code, and ...

The last part of the Embedded Systems programming discuss about interrupt processing and the alternative process of polling. It briefly describes interrupts and polling, as well as the interrupt ...

I've always been a fan of pot pie. Why have a chicken breast, a side of mixed vegetables, and pie for dessert when you can just cram them all into one neat little package? Besides, if I eat pot pie ...

Haskell is one of the most popular functional programming languages but it has not found much use in the embedded space. That is not likely to change in the near future but there are reasons for ...
