Embedded Design During Chip Shortages
Dave Hughes - TUXERA - Watch Now - Duration: 28:05
Thank you for your talk, Dave. An excellent discussion. I'd appreciate the slides for reference as well.
thank you for your kind words - i have forwarded your request - you should get a response soon...
Dave
Abstracting the RTOS was the most interesting section, that is one area I didn't consider for chip shortages! Thanks for sharing your knowledge in that area.
Thank you Dave, for your presentation. Will you be publishing your slides here?
I've pitched a similar framework before -- before 'Supply Chain Issues' was a thing -- so your talk is resonating well with me. Thank you for your consideration.
Hi Dan, Thanks - our marketing team will contact you soon about how to get the slides.
Dave
Hi Nathan, I really liked the talk! Thank you very much!
One initiative achieving a level of abstraction for ARM is CMSIS - what is your experience with /take on CMSIS?
Andreas
Hi Andreas, I think we covered this a bit in the live Q&A - but in short - if you are wedded to ARM (or more accurately the supported Cortex types) - then it is a very comprehensive abstraction and as long as you can get conformant drivers for your target it must be an important option. For us it did not work because we needed our components to run on any architecture - but we have abstractions to CMSIS (and in particular the RTOS) for our components.
Thanks for the presentation, very interesting.
At my company we are seeing more and more customers asking us to port their firmware to new microcontrollers. The difficulty of those migration projects highly depend on the abstraction you describe in your video.
Also, could you publish the slides ?
hi Nathan, I have forwarded this request to our marketing team - they should be in touch soon.
Thanks for listening!
Dave
Very interesting talk!
I think pretty much everybody today is minimally aware of the risks associated with non-portable code and some basic strategies like a set of primary software design principles, and the use of language usage constraints like MISRA. Today, however, with the increasing shortage problems, these risks have become more probable than ever,. and developing without minimum portability in mind is pretty much suicidal. In addition, the rise of embedded software complexity and off-the-shelf software and development ecosystems provided by silicon vendors with a certain degree of lock-in provides a lot more of coupling surface increasing the effort of making it portable, making careful planning and designing more necessary than ever.
What I enjoyed most about the talk though is the ability to structure and summarize the main challenging aspects and tactics to overcome them with success that the talk is able to distill.
Thank you or your kind words and your thoughts - much appreciated!
Dave
Well-said Dave. Very good guidelines to follow that could save many projects from all the different kinds of crises that could cause a need to change MCUs to meet demand.
Excellent!
