In the dynamic realm of embedded systems, the right combination of hardware and software components can transform the development process and empower engineers to build robust and efficient solutions. This article explores a streamlined device-to-cloud embedded design utilizing the STM32G0 Nucleo board from STMicroelectronics, an AWS IoT ExpressLink module from Espressif, AWS IoT Core for secure MQTT communication, and Memfault for remote debugging.
Connected devices require a secure point-to-point channel to ensure that there is no possibility of exposing important data for the integrity of an embedded system. This is especially true when we talk about over-the-air (OTA) software updates, where the new firmware has a long way to go before reaching its destination and being installed by our bootloader. In this publication, we will explore a simple method to encrypt the firmware using the AES algorithm, using open-source libraries in Python.
All hardware devices experience bugs and need debugging. Android devices in specific are exceptionally complex with several hundred gigabytes of source code, dozens of components, and wide range of uses. In this article we will explore the different facilities and tools available to debug Android based devices and produce robust systems that can handle a wide range of applications from smart fridges, to payment terminals, and of course mobile phones.
This post will discuss remote debugging in VS Code and how to improve the remote debugging experience to maximize debugging productivity for developers. Visual Studio Code, or VS Code, is one of the most popular IDEs. Within ten years of its initial release, VS Code has garnered the top spot among popularity indices, and its community is growing steadily. Developers love VS Code not only for its simplicity but also due to its rich ecosystem of extensions, including the support for debugging.
As JavaScript has grown more prevalent on the web, so have JavaScript errors. As an error monitoring service, we have a unique perspective on how errors impact the web globally, and we are constantly learning more about how the web breaks. We’re thrilled to share this report today so we can all understand it better, and build a better web. We produce this report every week, you can check it out anytime via the free Global Error Statistics report.
