Enabling Watchdog Timers on the Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC: Step by Step

Leave a Comment / Embedded Linux, FPGAs, Watchdog Timer

Reading Time: 5 minutes Introduction Today’s Embedded systems have become quite complex, often containing multiple processors and software. As such, the risk of a system locking up becomes more of a concern. To that end, watchdog timer peripherals have become an integral part of these systems. A hardware watchdog timer is a type of timer that, once enabled, requires […]

Debugging Embedded Software: A Simple Sanity Check for Code Compilation

Leave a Comment / Embedded Linux

Reading Time: 2 minutes Introduction and Problem: As Embedded software engineers, we often work on various projects and modules, leading to complex codebases and build systems. When making changes, it can be challenging to determine if the code is compiling as expected, especially in Linux-based systems or in AMP (Asymmetric Multi-Processing) applications, as we are often developing or testing
