Welcome! For years, I’ve been working deep inside the world of embedded systems, dealing with everything from high-speed silicon to low-level code. Now, I’m launching this space to share the practical lessons and insights I’ve gathered along the way.
This blog is a place to document the real-world experiences, technical challenges, and solutions that come up in my daily work. My goal is simple: to provide useful, actionable information for anyone interested in building robust electronic systems.
What I'll Cover
I focus on three core areas, and this blog will reflect that:
- FPGAs and HDL: We’ll dive into Field-Programmable Gate Arrays. Expect posts on high-speed digital design, optimizing logic, managing clock domains, and real-world tips for testing and debugging complex VHDL projects.
- Electronics Design: Building reliable hardware starts with solid design. I’ll share insights on power supply design, signal integrity, component selection, and practical best practices for PCB layout that make a difference.
- Embedded Software: The code that brings the hardware to life. We’ll explore topics around writing efficient, low-latency code in C/C++, Rust, bare-metal development, hardware driver creation, and strategies for effective debugging and testing.
Who Should Read This?
If you are a student, a new engineer, or a seasoned developer working in the embedded space, I hope you find something valuable here. This isn’t a collection of basic tutorials, but a look at the practical, often challenging, realities of embedded development.
Stay tuned for the first technical post coming soon.
