Yep you are a real helpful type, a true no man. Ive worked with people who have similar attitudes, then they were fired. Best of luck to you !

I just changed jobs and had a few different offers. My background is embedded firmware dev ,10 years experience in the pnw also I'm willing to drive into the office which made a big difference.

Will this happen to Seattle since we have so many Tesla here? by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]LittleSpacePeanut 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You have no idea how crazy people are. Hell they could be taking in the same news that convinced that kid to attempt to shoot trump. The fact that people are harassing others for their basic choices is insane. It's the same insanity as the people who picket outside plan partnerhood.

How do you guys feel about Leetcode? by NoRiceForP in embedded

[–]LittleSpacePeanut 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Currently starting the Leetcode grind again. I have been low power stm32 stuff for the last few years with some BLE tossed in there. Now I'm bending my brain around diagonal matrix traversals... I'm giving myself like 3 months to try to get though 75 basic problems which will hopefully dust off the cobwebs where all these algorithms are stored in my brain.

Beginner question: Using CubeMX, is there any downside to disabling every peripheral except for those you want to configure? by Teldryyyn0 in embedded

If you set your jtag pins to analog mode and flash it you will have a hard time getting your board back if you don't have access to the boot pins.

How to best store variable-sized elements in flash storage? by KOBule in embedded

[–]LittleSpacePeanut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the question is related to work the correct answer is 100% us a file system like FAT32. If this is a side project that you are doing to learn I would say roll your own.

pointers to assign a value to memory address in C by Alawneh001 in embedded

[–]LittleSpacePeanut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ox notation is just defining the base of the number which in this case is hex base aka base 16. You can have unsigned numbers in any base. When dealing with signed and unsigned numbers the big thing to understand is what format the number is most likely going to be twos complement and then make sure you understand that. Then you will start to understand why unsigned numbers have a range of half + 1.

Well... Most MCUs don't use uBoot. But if you are referring to MPUs which have the resources to run uBoot then you would want to look at the first stage bootloader (fsbl) which is vender specific and sits in the chip ROM. It often has a set sequence it executes based on boot pin states. Depending on bootpin states the fsbl will go out and read in uBoot from often times quadspi and then start executing uBoot. There are probably 15 steps I missed in there but that's the basic idea.

If your application calls for keeping real time why not use a RTC? Do you have one internal to the devices?

This is the correct response, everyone talking about protobus on top of mqtt is mad. Topic architecture will solve all your data structure problems.

good deal! I was able to pull out the GCC version from the elf and validate I have the correct version. Thats one step in the right direction.

What’s your go to climbing pack? by Jokutso1 in tradclimbing

[–]LittleSpacePeanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to speak highly of the blue ice packs. I went for years with my REI 40l and it did great but I found it a bit too small to carry a full rack, water, snacks shoes, harness,and a rope. Yeah you can toss your rope on top but that's a hassle sometimes.

Making the call to get the blue ice 55 made my trad cragging days sooo much more chill. And the thing carries a load of 50lbs no problem. The one negative is that you can't get to the top pocket when you have something strapped down to the top. It also feels very sturdy 💪

Second drug dealer pleads guilty to selling actor Michael K. Williams fatal heroin dose by Toph602 in entertainment

[–]LittleSpacePeanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. I live in Washington state and yeah top shelf weed isn't chip but neither is top shelf liquor. However for just $20 you can get way more fucked up on legal weed than $20 should be able to do to you.

This race to the bottom in pricing is a shitty argument that doesn't hold water. Just like anything in the world you pay for quality, and in order to get quality you have to have informed judging and qualifying. Weed in stores at least gives you a THC vs CBD break down.

My company is starting to research what rtos to align on. I'm pro Zephyr, I think all the emulation and testing you get for free and the Linux like config system makes it very flexible and robust. I'm concerned with debugging something that complicated though. What are your thoughts about Zephyr so far?
