Pocket article: Undefined Behavior Sanitizer Trap on Error
This post is a brief overview on how the Undefined Behavior Sanitizer can be used to trap unintentional or error prone parts of a C program. We’re going to look at how it’s used on a desktop program, as well as a way to use it in small embedded programs!
How to Debug HardFaults on ARM Cortex-M MCUs
No matter your use case or how sophisticated your hardware is, faults happen on embedded devices all the time for a variety of reasons. Maybe it’s something easy like a reproducible NULL pointer dereference you hit during development or maybe it’s something more subtle like memory corruption or divide by zero faults that only exhibits themselves in zero-g, high temperature, weak magnetic field, or noisy RF environments!
Getting Started with Memfault for MCUs
Memfault recently launched a free self-service portal giving embedded developers instant access to Memfault across Android OS devices or ARM-based microcontroller devices running on bare metal or real-time operating systems (RTOS). In this recorded webinar, you'll learn what Memfault is and how you can use it for device observability at scale.

Device Firmware Update Best Practices
Implementing OTA (Over The Air) firmware updates is one of the most critical yet complicated processes of building hardware. And unfortunately, many organizations don't invest the same amount of resources in device firmware updates as they do in software. In this recorded webinar, Memfault Founder & CEO François Baldassari walks through the best practices he has learned over the years for device firmware updates. He also presents a device firmware update architecture that will help you avoid spending hours and hours debugging firmware update issues.
How to Monitor IoT Devices at Scale Webinar
Releasing a connected device in today's world without some form of monitoring in place is a recipe for trouble. And as you increase your fleet size, more and more issues arise, causing more and more trouble. In this webinar, Tyler demonstrated how to build out your IoT monitoring solutions using metrics allowing you to scale your fleet without adding more issues. Using metrics to monitor a fleet of connected devices allows for assessing the health of thousands to millions of devices, all while keeping complexity, bandwidth, and power consumption to a minimum.
