Does GitHub CoPilot Help Embedded Developers?
Status: Coming up in April 2025!AI-powered coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT are transforming software development—but what do they mean for embedded systems engineers? Unlike traditional software, embedded programming comes with unique constraints such as limited resources, real-time requirements, and hardware dependencies.
This talk explores the real-world impact of GitHub Copilot on embedded development. We’ll separate hype from reality through practical examples, showcasing where AI tools can truly boost productivity—and where they fall short. Whether you're skeptical or excited about AI-driven coding, this session will help you understand how (and when) to make these tools work for you.
How to Rapidly Develop IoT devices with Arm and AWS (2020)
Status: Available NowArm Cortex-M processors have been shipped in more than 45 billion chips for a vast range of applications, from industrial sensors to wearables. This growth has exploded more so in the last few years due to the significant rise in connected products for diverse markets. AWS IoT provides broad and deep functionality, spanning the edge to the cloud, so customers can build IoT solutions for virtually any use case across a wide range of devices. With designers of IoT applications under extraordinary pressure to build innovative solutions quickly, affordably, and satisfy many design requirements, how can the IoT continue to scale across a growing number of use cases? The talk provides a tour of a simple path to developing secure Cortex-M based IoT devices with Arm and AWS, and how together, the collaboration provides choice and scalability for IoT developers.
Introduction to an Open Approach for Low-Power IoT Development (2020)
Status: Available NowToday, embedded developers start with low-cost evaluation boards utilizing reference designs that are based on open source software. For rapid IoT device development, scaling of these reference designs to cost-optimized and resource-constrained, high-volume production is critical.
