Webinar: Mastering RTOS Debugging Techniques (Keil MDK, RTX5 RTOS)

Using an RTOS has almost become a necessity when developing a real-time embedded system. The problem is that many developers are just starting to use an RTOS and are not familiar with the methodologies and techniques necessary to quickly and efficiently debug their RTOS based application code. In this webinar, attendees will become familiar with the latest and greatest techniques and tools necessary to debug their code. Important concepts such as properly sizing thread stacks, using event viewers and discovering issues such as priority inversions, deadlock and thread starvation will be examined. The webinar will provide hands-on demonstrations using the NXP's K64 Freedom Board which uses as ARM Cortex-M4 processor with the Keil MDK toolchain, RTX5 RTOS and Percepio’s Tracealyzer.

Mehr Sicherheit für Cortex-M Systeme mit MPU-Plus

Costa Mesa, Kalifornien, 1. März 2017

Die Sicherheit bestehender ARM Cortex-M-basierter Produkte lässt sich durch die Nutzung eines neuen Produkts von Micro Digital erheblich verbessern. MPU-Plus ™ ermöglicht eine höhere Sicherheit für bereits ausgelieferte oder zu entwickelnde Systeme durch eine effektive Nutzung der Memory Protection Unit (MPU), die in den meisten Cortex-M-Prozessoren vorhanden ist.

Excellence in Automotive HMI Design: Storyboard on NXP i.MX 8

Whether it’s commuting to and from work, chauffeuring the kids to hockey*, or running errands, we spend countless hours driving on a daily basis. Fortunately for those of us who feel like we live part-time in our cars, technology is evolving at a rapid rate to enhance the driving experience and to allow us to connect with our vehicles more seamlessly and safely.

Designing a Rich UI for Industrial Electronic Controls with Storyboard

Whether a team is creating an application for automotive, medical, industrial, or a white goods product, there’s a core set of capabilities that the UI development framework they choose to work with has to be able to deliver, regardless of the target market. When we talk with customers during their development process and when we meet designers and developers at trade shows and events we tend to hear common themes of challenges and requirements, such as:

Exploiting MQTT Using Lua

Want to learn how to exploit MQTT using Lua? I hope not.  But maybe you want to learn how to protect yourself again the exploit... not a bad idea to start from the inside out.


MQTT is a publish/subscribe protocol that has gained popularity as an IoT protocol. MQTT clients connect to a broker which is in charge of exchanging the messages sent between the connected clients. MQTT includes many features that may leave the MQTT solution open to hackers. In this article, I will show you how easy it is to find unprotected MQTT brokers on the Internet and how to eavesdrop on all messages exchanged via the unprotected brokers.
