Investigation of possibility to create an open LLVM-based Ada compiler [rejected]

This is a closed project. The purpose of this post was to collect as much as possible information about LLVM, Ada compilers and possible people to contact and organizations who can provide some help.

[PreGSoC 2017] Make a port of RTEMS for HiFive1

The purpose of this post is to provide all available sources of information for everyone who is interested in my GSoC 2017 project "Utilizing full power from HiFive1 via usage of RTEMS on top of Freedom E310-G000 cores". Also, in this post other things will be described, such as the current state, available repositories and toolchains, plans for further involvement. 

First steps with stm32l152. SPI handling with LCD 5110 display.

One of the most interesting parts of embedded programming is a work with graphic displays. Some of them are easy to manage, others require special tricks. The objective of this post is to show how to use the simplest and famous display – Nokia 5110 LCD. Also, it will be demonstrated how to use SPI in an unidirectional master mode.

First steps with stm32l152. Uart handling.

The purpose of this introductory post is to show how to receive data via Uart from a host machine. Also, I will see how to create a simple FreeRTOS task.

Building RTEMS and its example for sparc architecture

The purpose of this work is to show how to easily get started with RTEMS real-time operating system. In the article I will show how to compile RTEMS, compile 'Hello World' application and run it in a simulator. The example and RTEMS system itself will be compiled for sparc/erc32 architecture and will be launched in the simulator. More information about RTEMS you can find on the official site: rtems.org.

First steps with stm32l152. UART and SPI simple program.

In this post I want to describe the simplest program, which transferring bytes from our board using UART and SPI interfaces.

First of all, we should setup our pins. I will do it in CubeMX, though if you want to deeper understand these interfaces, you can read through datasheets and set up them manually.

First steps with stm32l152c-discovery. Moving to Qt Creator

In the last two posts I described an environment installation and the first project generation. I used Eclipse as IDE. I want to be honest, I don't like Eclipse. It's very slow and sometimes buggy. So, I decided to show how to move to Qt Creator.

In this post you need to download Qt Creator from its site: https://www.qt.io/ide/ or install it with your software manager, in debian:

apt-get install qtcreator.

But be aware, that repositories may contain not the last version of the IDE.
