  • Two sides of the coin

    Jeff and Luca really do a great job going through different development strategies related to Agile Embedded work. Their discussions are entertaining and informative. It is refreshing that the Jeff and Luca have different approaches, which makes for engaging episodes. I am not an embedded developer, but I really enjoy the product development conversation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Factory Firmware Flashing with Pete Staples
Q: Who should own the process of flashing and testing on the production line?
The engineer who designed the product should own the test plan and the checks, ensuring that flashing, calibration, and testing are defined up front and carried out according to a formal plan rather than being left to the factory floor.
Linux Profiling with Mohammed Billoo
Q: What should be embedded in a system from the start to facilitate future profiling?
Incorporate instrumentation and tracing into the build and CI/CD process, so you can capture performance data early and have checkpoints to verify boot times and run-time behavior as the project evolves.
Linux Profiling with Mohammed Billoo
Q: What's the first step you take when a device is reported as slow?
Isolate whether the slowdown is in user space or kernel space, then use tools like LTTng and perf to profile and visualize where time is actually being spent before drilling into specific drivers or code paths.
Violet Su on hardware manufacturing
Q: How can you speed up the process of creating prototypes?
By getting feedback from local communities and learning from their needs, which helps create better products more quickly.
Violet Su on hardware manufacturing
Q: What sorts of things catch people by surprise?
People are surprised by how hard hardware development can be, especially in understanding the complexities and costs involved.
