Composition on Tiny Embedded Systems in Cpp - Luke Valenty - CppNow 2023

Join Luke Valenty and explore the unique challenges of writing composable firmware for deeply embedded systems with a live demonstration of creating a remote controlled RGB lighting controller.

We'll cover low-level hardware register access, interrupt handler registration, logging, initialization and task registration, message handling, and safe arithmetic. While we build the firmware, we will also build up the hardware from scratch: powering up the microcontroller, using a logic analyzer to show signs of life, adding a USB UART adapter to support logging/debugging, lighting up RGB LEDs, and adding an IR receiver to control the them with a remote control.

While implementing this demo, the presentation will cover C++ and design concepts such as using compile-time constructs for powerful and efficient abstractions; strategies for decoupling components; abstracting away low-level hardware details; and more. Join us as we explore this cutting edge approach for building efficient and maintainable firmware!
