Illustrated Blog on Embedded Software Architecture
The energy harvester application needs to be able to determine current flows and volt charges in order to take the right decisions about charging and dumping. The micro-controller’s ADC unit is able to translate the analogue signal from the sensor into a quantified entity, a number if you wish. Internally, the device current is limited […]
Prototype building block While working on our energy harvester design, we have identified a couple of relatively independent building blocks that could also be interesting for other people doing projects and building prototypes. One building block is the switch: In its most basic form, it closes an electrical circuit after which a load can get […]
Iteration 2 overview Wind power to dump load switching has been the main topic of iteration 2. In our system design we also call this Power Management Decision 1 (PMD1). PMD1 should realize several system requirements and, because we have an energy harvester model in Enterprise Architect, this list of requirements can easily be generated […]
Understanding memory management is a very important aspect of embedded software development. With a broad and simplified generalization, we will divide memory allocation schemes into 2 categories: allocation on the stack, and allocation on the heap. For the purpose of this discussion, the current subject will refer to embedded systems with RAM (either SRAM or […]
