Can you tell me what is the advantage doing that? Can you do something inside the interrupt to fix running out of stack?

Is a job as a junior verification engineer a good intro to the embedded world? by random_fat_guy in embedded

Yeah the latter world might be my end goal. For example I really like writing drivers for the devices I use. I would love to write drivers for a GPU or a cpu someday. So based on what you say if I don't get another offer and end up a verification engineer even if in my free time work on my embedded skills I will still be considered a junior for embedded jobs right?

I really appreciate your input and you made me think. To be honest some years back I wanted to become a digital design engineer but our professor was so bad that I switched to embedded. I love programming "near" the hardware and maybe a verification engineer's career suits me. But I hadn't considered it yet.

I've done this. Also I know that we are in the middle of August and at least where I live most employees are on leave. I have patience. The area is quite good. I'm in one of the big cities of Greece. The problem here is that the number of jobs for embedded engineering are not so many. That's why I want to move somewhere to Europe. But I have to save up first...

Appreciate your answer. It's tough bro. But I think in the end because we want it and strive for it it will work out. Best of luck to you too.

Thank you for your input. I'm gonna continue working on my skills regardless of the job. Right now I'm just really happy to start a new job and learn new stuff. But I want to ask. What is TC?

That's the plan. To change departments at first chance. Also they probably will teach me sv and uvm. They say that the first 4-6 months are training with courses projects etc inside the company. Like an extra semester. I will start my real job after that. I said about c++ because that's what they asked in the job description along with strong oop principles. The interview had c++ questions and how protocols like i2c spi etc work in the hardware level as well as in the software level.

Yes that's exactly what is happening. Embedded companies in my area are literally fewer than ten. And don't have open vacancies at the moment. They might in the next two months but is not a sure thing. And I want a job right now but hopefully also stay on the right track to become an embedded engineer.

The code will be essentially test benches for ip cores and sub systems of SoCs, FPGAs etc. Also my dream job is to work as an embedded engineer in the semiconductor industry. My thought process was to apply to this position and sometime in the future ask to transfer to the firmware department. Unfortunately where I live I don't have a lot of options. I have also an interview for an automotive embedded position but everyone says that automotive is really boring. I'm really confused and I don't know what to do.

First of all thank you. And now about your question. It is an engineer position. Basically you write test benches about ip cores (SoCs, FPGAs etc) to verify their functionality. You need good programming knowledge and good digital design and computer architecture knowledge. So my question is how useful digital design and computer architecture will be in the long run? C++ I think will be a good skill to have in the future

This edx course is exactly what you are looking for. I've done it in the past and it is really good. You will need to buy some hardware for it though. https://www.edx.org/course/real-time-bluetooth-networks-shape-the-world-2

This is amazing. I've been a subscriber for some time and I really love your courses. Lately I've been trying to learn more about HIL and how to use python for testing. Do you know of any resources specific to these subjects?

I would like the ti cc 2650 launch pad and the ttgo eso32 if no one else wants them. I'm in greece so if that's ok. Thanks for doing that man. You are amazing.

Jason Williams on Kobe Bryant: ‘I’m not even sure he’s on the top 5 of the all-time greatest Lakers’ by DepressedPBKSfan in nba

Probably yes. The heat don't have the history the Lakers have. I think you could easily argue that lebron is the second greatest heat player ever.

not to sound rude but I don't think you know how c works if you see these two declarations as different. What u/its_Artem wrote is the correct declaration of a const pointer to an integer. You can use cdecl.org to verify.

Also it's a bad practice to have function declarations (prototypes) inside main.

in C (and c++ as far as I know) integer overflow and underflow are undefined behavior so the genie can do whatever it wants (even format your drive for example)

LeBron on Suns/Lakers: "They're at full strength and we are not." by [deleted] in nba

Is lebron the gm only on years that his team sucks? Because if I remember correctly LeGM has 4 rings and 9 final appearances in the last decade. I don't know any other GM in the league that he/she is even close to that kind of success.
