OTA for Embedded Linux Devices: A practical introduction

A core belief of Memfault is that we can ship faster when we have good infrastructure in place. An essential piece of this infrastructure is tools to send firmware updates over the air. It enables the team to ship more often and spend more time building features.

In this article, we look specifically at what is required to ship over-the-air firmware updates for Linux systems.

Here are the articles, videos, and tools that we’ve been excited about this April.

Pocket article: Debug vs. Release Builds Considered Harmful

Separate “debug” and “release” builds are very common in embedded development. Typically the notion is improved debug capabilities (less aggressive compiler optimizations, more debugging information like logs) vs. highly optimized and hardened production release builds. I’m here to describe disadvantages to this practice, and why it might make sense to consolidate to a single build!

What we've been reading in February & March

Here are the articles, videos, and tools that we’ve been excited about this February & March. We’re a little late with the February issue but we’ll catch up!

A Guide to Using ARM Stack Limit Registers

We will explore using the MSP Limit and the PSP Limit Registers on the ARM Cortex-M33 architecture to detect stack overflows. We will walk through an implementation on the Renesas DA1469x and look at practical examples of detecting stack overflows. Additionally, we will look at supplementary options for scenarios that the MSPLIM and PSPLIM features fall short.

Integrating Memfault into an Embedded Linux Project

In this blog post, I will demonstrate how to integrate Memfault’s offering on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ running embedded Linux.
