The Analog Discovery 2 (AD2) by Digilent is a USB device that connects to one’s computer and has numerous features for embedded engineers, all in a convenient 3x3in package (see Figure 1). The AD2 includes important features such as a two-ch...
Version control systems are the backbone of any good software development process, so it helps to be familiar with them. At DMC, we typically utilize GitLab and Subversion (SVN)—but occasionally, I’ve had to squash commits together to hav...
Factories often think their data is safe within their private networks—but that isn’t necessarily the case. If someone were to gain access to your network, they could potentially read sensitive, internal data being sent from your PLCs. Es...
The STM32 system memory bootloader, a ROM bootloader programmed to STM32 devices, is an essential tool—it can easily update devices in the field and “unbrick” boards in some situations. However, there are a few things to consider ab...
