RISC-V And Its Modularity Shine Across Applications The industry has pinned a lot of optimism to RISC-V, considering the Instruction Set Architecture’s flexibility and open-source nature. While initially planned to be a tool exclusive to academic circles for learning and teaching, RISC-V is now much more than that. As the technology marks its 15th anniversary this year, its widespread adoption (see Figure 1) calls for a perusal of where RISC-V stands.

Sailing Through the RISC-V Movement Across Continents RISC-V democratised processor design and even forced the existing ISAs to create room for custom instructions. The outcome was a movement of adoption and experimentation throughout the world's semiconductor ecosystem. But the speed and nature of these initiatives are diverse across geographic regions. This difference stems from the unique priorities and pain areas of leading market participants, whether in enabling data sovereignty, attaining energy efficiency, driving costs down, or supporting large-scale commercialization.

How to Use the CrowPanel Pico 2.8 Touchscreen This second installment, dedicated to the CrowPanel Pico 2.8, examines how to make the display interactive. It is possible to use the touchscreen just like on smartphones, tapping the screen to set values, change pages, activate alarms, and much more. Some techniques are explained step-by-step, starting with reading screen touches and using them in your MicroPython project. The CrowPanel Pico 2.8 already has a display and touchscreen built in, so nothing else is needed, at least for a basic project.

Chasing Done: Why Software Never Ends — and Why That Matters One of the most important truths I’ve learned after 20 years of building and scaling technology is this: software is never done. This isn’t a controversial topic within the engineering world. Most developers know it instinctively. But even amongst experienced developers, the “why” is rarely understood and frequently accepted without any evaluation or introspection. As products combine hardware and software in more complex ways, the implications of this reality are becoming more severe.

There is No Hardware, Only Data Embedded developers think from the hardware up. But here’s the problem: that’s an antiquated way to think about developing firmware. In the old days, embedded software was designed and built like a hot rod. Everything was custom and finely tuned, so the system purred with power and performance. Today’s systems? They’re not finely tuned hot rods; they’re run-of-the-mill family minivans.

Overcoming the Fear of Embedded Multithreading Modern traffic demands quick decisions – whether it’s a child running into the street, a car braking suddenly, or an unexpected obstacle appearing out of nowhere. For autonomous vehicles, reacting swiftly and correctly in these moments is just as crucial as it is for human drivers. This challenge becomes even more intense in small-scale racing scenarios, where the capabilities of the vehicle far exceed those of a human driver.

Can RISC-V Cross the Threshold in 2025? Last year, when I walked into the 2024 RISC-V summits in China and North America, the energy was high, but it felt like the message was still a bit cautious. RISC-V was emerging, but not yet central. Fast forward to 2025, and the tone has shifted. This year, the pressure is on. The question is no longer whether RISC-V can attract interest—it’s when it will truly deliver.

Web UI Dashboard on Zephyr RTOS When a connected embedded device is being developased - and by "connected", we mean TCP/IP connectivity - it usually implements one or both of the following use cases: (a) a device hosts a web dashboard for easy configuration, status checks, and remote control, and (b) a device connects to a remote cloud for data reporting and remote control. Having a web dashboard on a device provides handy, user-friendly local access that is much simpler than serial consoles or custom desktop applications, as it is accessible through any modern browser—no drivers or installations required.

When Compilers Pass but Systems Fail: The Hidden Dangers in Embedded Debugging In modern engineering, embedded systems occupy a unique position — deeply integrated into the physical world, often invisible to end users, and tasked with responsibilities that tolerate no failure. From medical implants to automotive control units to spacecraft guidance systems, these systems must function with extraordinary reliability. Yet, for the engineers behind them, ensuring such reliability often feels less like precise science and more like navigating a minefield of invisible threats.

Why Lua Beats MicroPython for Serious Embedded Devs In professional embedded projects, ranging from industrial automation to medical devices and commercial IoT products, developers increasingly favor high-level, lightweight, and easy-to-use environments. While MicroPython has earned praise for rapid prototyping and field deployments on microcontrollers, its active ecosystem is largely centered around hobbyist boards. It is important to note that Python's greatest strength, its vast library ecosystem with tools like NumPy and pandas, is not available in MicroPython.

From Bare Metal to RTOS: When Should You Make the Switch? Embedded developers often kick off their projects in the bare metal realm—no operating system, no multitasking, just raw code running straight on the hardware. It’s all about direct register tweaks and peripheral control within a tight loop. This method shines for its efficiency and hands-on precision, making it a go-to for systems where resources are slim and every cycle counts. Yet, as projects balloon with extra sensors, connectivity demands, and feature creep, that neat bare metal loop-and-interrupt setup can start to buckle.
