| 02:08.22 | gkwhc | Hi everyone! would anyone happen to have any suggestions on how to approach embedded development (coding)? i often find myself being intimidated by how "complicated/big" a small system is - like layers of drivers + RTOS, etc. |
| 02:09.34 | T0mW | probably a Raspberry Pi should get you going. Lots of support, lots of people tinkering with it. |
| 02:12.09 | gkwhc | T0mW: ah yes, thanks for the suggestion. however, i am pretty much locked on to a specific platform, working with TI DSPs |
| 02:15.11 | T0mW | gkwhc: Experience in any one platform generally is applicable to another. Just because raspberry is not the device of choice doesn't make the lessons learned from it any less valuable. It is just that you will have many more people ready, and willing, to let you know how smart they are and ready to teach you with that device than with a more sophisticated one (eg. TI DSP). |
| 02:16.12 | gkwhc | i see |
| 02:18.50 | T0mW | Even with an 8 bit controller, there are organizational issues that have to be resolved with building code. For example, you could just write into a serial TX data register whenever you want to send a byte out via RS232. Just do that any/every where you need to. But, is that the "best" way to manage sending RS232 data? Wouldn't there be any advantage to a single subroutine that stuffs the byte into the UART? |
| 02:20.32 | T0mW | It appears that you are asking for help with concepts? If so, best way to get experience is to grab some device and start doing. I've tons of time working with shit^H^H^H^H systems which nothing more than experience came of it. |
| 02:21.08 | T0mW | much time spent learning what doesn't work... :-/ |
| 02:22.13 | T0mW | Jeez, I just realized that I've been banging-bits for 35+ years now! :( |
| 02:22.20 | gkwhc | haha yeah, I have come to realize. also debugging DMA/OS related issues arent that easy it seems |
| 02:41.12 | MonMotha | the software has definitely trended toward complication over the years, with corresponding increases in functionality |
