Design an Advanced Embedded systems - Introduction. S1 Ep1

Hey there!

Hope things are going great your end :)

A quick introduction for those of you who don't know me. I am Vasuki Shankar, an electronics engineer, who is based in Bangalore. I am an embedded systems guy, who enjoys building systems that work (well, it doesn't turn out that way all the time :D)

Writing a technical article is something I always had on my mind, but it somehow never materialized. Just like a thread you want to execute, but the CPU never really schedules it. But not anymore (hopefully :p).

So I have come up with an idea to write technical articles (yeah, i know I would loose half of my audience at this point. Bye!) on things that I know best - "Embedded systems and Computer Architecture". Or perhaps I should say, the only thing I know :D

This wont be yet another boring, looooo...ooong, verbose, iron nuggets that you cannot digest, but very concise (just a paragraph long) articles on topics in embedded systems and computer architecture. I wont be burdening the internet by writing the same old 101-articles on what is a microcontroller (zzz..zzz), what is an embedded system(yawn... :O), what is the difference between a computer and an embedded systemmmmmmmmmm fddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.sdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss - Damn, I slept off...

Where was I? oh yeah, so I wont be going through the basics. There is already too much material available out there. But instead, I would be concentrating on slightly advanced topics that might have lesser coverage.

Something on the lines of hardware security in an embedded systems, Bootloaders, work-queues in interrupt handling, micro-kernel architecture etc. These will be useful to designers and coders who would work on a Hardware-Software intersection.

Lets start off this journey of learning and sharing knowledge! :)

Oh btw, most important point - I am a learner, and I am quite bound to make mistakes in my articles. Please do correct me while I do so and help me learn better :)

Thanks and have a good day!

Vasuki Shankar.
