How to get Memfault Device Vitals up and running on an MCU (ESP32) - Integration Walkthrough

In this video Memfault Field CTO Thomas will walk you through each step to get your MCU based device integrated on Memfault and reporting crash data and our newly released, Device Vitals into Memfault. This walk through is using an ESP32 based device but the same principles can be applied to any MCU and we have lots of guidance available for different chipsets in our technical documentation.

François Baldassari reveals our biggest product release yet. This pivotal launch marks a new era in IoT device performance monitoring, ensuring unparalleled insights into software stability, battery health, and connectivity— the three critical aspects of device vitality. Our latest breakthrough allows for the precise evaluation of your devices' quality, enabling swift identification and resolution of any issues. With François leading the charge, explore how our newest innovation empowers you to.

The Top 10 IoT Monitoring Tools

IoT (Internet of Things) is the overarching term used to describe the extensive network of devices connected to the Internet. This term covers a broad range of objects or ‘things’ from consumer technology such as smart home lighting to crop management in agriculture. IoT allows everyday devices to effectively connect and exchange data with one another.

How to Collect IoT Data Through Cribl Stream and Cribl Search

Cribl’s suite of products excel at collecting and organizing your IT and security event data. Did you know it can also help with IoT data collection and analysis? If you can get the text of the data into Cribl, in most cases, we can process it, transform it, and send it to where you want it to go. A few years ago, I bought a weather station. I immediately hooked up some home automation gear to show me the temperature, humidity, and air quality. But the geek in me wants more.

Beyond the Launch: Enhancing IoT Device Quality

Product quality doesn’t stop when your devices are deployed. In fact, that’s when it matters most. And yet even with rigorous testing, all bets are off once your product hits the field. It’s impossible to anticipate every variable and environment your devices will encounter. So how can you make sure your customers continue to love your product—not only on day 1, but 6 months down the road? Find out exactly how to get the data you need to guide your team’s development decisions and deliver products that perform in the real world.

Diving into JTAG - Debugging (Part 2)

As noted in my previous article Diving into JTAG protocol. Part 1 — Overview, JTAG was initially developed for testing integrated circuits and printed circuit boards. However, its potential for debugging was realized over time, and now JTAG has become the standard protocol for microcontroller debugging. Many Firmware and Embedded engineers first encountered it in this particular context.

Optimal Parking Solutions for Smooth Operations

The integration of cutting-edge technology and modern mobility trends is reshaping the landscape of parking solutions, introducing groundbreaking enhancements to the parking experience for all involved. This evolution in parking solutions not only serves the customer's growing needs but also offers significant benefits to facility operators and owners. Addressing the complexities of parking operations requires a well-thought-out strategy that ensures smooth traffic flow, sustainability, and adherence to regulations. This article delves into the latest solutions that are revolutionizing optimal parking solutions.

Best Practices for Monitoring Device Connectivity

With the number of wireless SoCs on the market, “Just add connectivity” is finally a reality! “Just” does a lot of lifting in that phrase. Connectivity, whether wired or wireless, adds numerous layers of complexity to your device. Treating your connectivity as a black box early in development is easy, but this strategy will implode when thousands of devices enter the field - trust me, I know. It’s not enough to test from end to end a few times in the office.

Practical Zephyr - Devicetree semantics (Part 4)

Having covered the Devicetree basics in the previous article, we now add semantics to our Devicetree using so-called bindings: For each supported type, we’ll create a corresponding binding and look at the generated output to understand how it can be used with Zephyr’s Devicetree API. Notice that we’ll only look at Zephyr’s basic Devicetree API and won’t analyze specific subsystems such as gpio in detail.
