Last Update:
✅ Embedded Development Changes over two decades
Embedded development one decade or two ago:
👉 Microcontrollers
👉 C or Assembly language
👉 OS: Either bare metal or simple scheduler
👉 UI: LEDs, Switches, 16x2 text LCD
👉 Standalone devices
👉 Homegrown software
👉 Once the device is shipped, the firmware will never be changed
Embedded development now:
👉 Multi-core microprocessors (SoC, SoM) with FPU and GPU
👉 C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Rust
👉 Full-blown OS with Filesystem, networking, etc
👉 Touchscreen UI
👉 Connectivity with other devices (via WiFi, BLE, CAN, IoT, Cloud)
👉 Third-party software and library (Qt, LVGL)
👉 Over-the-Air Firmware Update
Different era, different challenge.
Tools are getting mature helping us to finish tasks faster, but somehow the system is getting more complex, forcing us to rethink how we learn embedded systems effectively.
