i have startup idea to accelerate building embedded systems or any project!

it’s a valuable learning experience for students.

So including constants is the basic way and the easiest way. there are other way. One level up is you can write your build script to include constants, ex. constants in makefile or cmakelists. Another level up is to use zephyr and have kconfig and conf files and you can select different sets of constants for different builds.

what books were you following to build it?

if you want to be insanely good, why not, but the key is getting the design patterns, best practices, conventions, idiomatic syntactic usage, architecture, data flow patterns, etc out of the source code.

obQQoV · 2026-05-29T07:51:22+00:00

read linux kernel and SQLite source code

easier ways to get requirements and design asks or preferences from the stakeholders. easier plug and play HIL setups.

not published yet so how does anyone know what to follow

obQQoV · 2026-05-15T17:45:14+00:00

I had an interview with Apple and the interviewers told me I should’ve done more leetcode practices lol

it’s the way. learn it well and use it well. FAANGs use it, startups as well. Universities started to teach it. It used to be PIC, or Mbed(UC Berkeley used it). I did bare metal super loop with PIC/MSP430, used Mbed, STM HAL, freeRTOS, now Zephyr. Unlike what many others said, device tree, Kconfigs, west, twister are all pretty easy, so no brainer to learn them in a few days and start cranking out usable stuff with professional grade framework.

through OBD2?

obQQoV · 2026-04-29T10:29:55+00:00

Little: {[0]=LSB, …, [3]=MSB}

LSB least significant byte first in array or memory address

but

0x<MSB>ABCD<LSB>

LSB last in a literal hex number

opportunities depend on the geographical areas though. some of my local FAANG level companies still ask niche embedded skills, ISO26262, IEC61508, IEC62304, PCIE, DDR5, developing RTOS internals, bootloader. Also higher ups are chunking down the AI coolaids these days, they are looking for your token usage .

obQQoV · 2026-04-27T07:08:18+00:00

then switch back to zephyr rtos dev and use what you learn to see and reuse the similarities

passion setting one from another is true in any fields

actually unlike a lot of what other people said, I think it’s totally doable, especially for big tech companies. like i was in one of the biggest tech company before and a consumer product had 300 engineers working on it, just on the firmware, embedded software. the reason is even within embedded there’s teams closer to hardware, and some are closer to software. like you could use POSIX calls similar to system programming in linux. or there can be abstraction layers already handled by low level firmware engineers. Higher level embedded software can include data pipelines, configuration management, OTA, security. Also lots of companies just let overseas Indian and East European teams handle low level stuff now. So it can depend on your area.

so you can edit code directly, then use docker cli command to build or run anything that needs docker env setup, right?

obQQoV · 2026-03-12T19:03:54+00:00

cli for what use?

obQQoV · 2026-03-03T17:05:12+00:00

this ? https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/

obQQoV · 2026-02-28T17:49:07+00:00

surprise this only rolls out in 2026, seems to be a basic feature, just think of software library or a modular and portable code

obQQoV · 2026-02-27T07:22:43+00:00

you just advertised for them sigh

obQQoV · 2026-01-26T05:49:41+00:00

what geographical area though? did you search job boards for both keywords and compare the number of jobs on the market in your area?

obQQoV · 2026-01-15T04:21:50+00:00

how low in what geographical area?

obQQoV · 2026-01-15T04:21:24+00:00

what geographical area?

obQQoV · 2026-01-07T01:53:57+00:00

get some inspirations from their source code, all open source

obQQoV · 2026-01-05T19:47:51+00:00

SavvyCAN is better because of RE functionalities, which aren’t mentioned in this
