electronic notes
When running multiple tasks simultaneously on an embedded system using cooperative task scheduling you might run into situations (at least I did 😁) where these tasks might need to access the same hardware peripheral. Not all peripherals can be shared easily due to their configuration or some other kind of internal …
Recently I was working on a project using a SiLabs EFM8 LaserBee microcontroller. These parts have a very rich set of peripherals and come at a rather low price.
When implementing communication with a host over UART I stumbled upon on issue with the UART1's FIFO: to relax timing requirements …
For my PhD at the Integrated Electronic Systems Lab at Technische Universität Darmstadt I have been running accelerated life tests for a few years now. Life tests can be quite challenging: they can take quite a long time to produce any results; you need expensive equipment …
