ARM Cortex-M33 Instruction Tracing Without a Debugger

In this post we will explore how to perform instruction tracing without a debugger by using the ARM Cortex-M33 Micro Trace Buffer (MTB). We will walk through a few practical examples of how to configure the MTB with Dialog Semiconductor’s DA14695 MCU.

Defensive Programming - Friend or Foe?

In this article, we’ll dive into what defensive and offensive programming are, where defensive programming falls short, how developers should think about using them within embedded systems, and how the techniques of offensive programming can surface bugs and help developers root cause them immediately at runtime.

Seamless firmware development with PlatformIO

In this post, I’d like to introduce PlatformIO. I will go over what PlatformIO is, how you can use it for your project, and what it is good at. I also highlight a few shortcomings worth keeping in mind.
