A Hardware Bug in the Raspberry Pi RP2350 MCU Causes Pins to Stick at 2.15V


https://www.electronics-lab.com/a-hardware-bug-in-the-raspberry-pi-rp2350-mcu-causes-pins-to-stick-at-2-15v/

A Hardware Bug in the RP2350 microcontroller family causes GPIO pins to get stuck at around 2.15V when configured as inputs with internal pull-down resistors. This “latching” behavior is due to a faulty fault-tolerant pad design from an unnamed IP vendor. The issue affects all GPIO pins and occurs after the first time the pin is […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/arm-coresight-soc-600-future-debug/

Debugging is an important part of the design process that is necessary to identify and fix errors. Over the decades, debug tools had evolved providing easier and simpler solutions. Today, ARM introduces CoreSight SoC-600 as the next-generation debug and trace tool that speeds up finding the root of the problem, with less iterations and lower risks. Addressing the […]

Issues with printf function


https://www.electronics-lab.com/issues-printf-function/

The C library function printf() is one of the common used functions in embedded systems world to debug the code in real time over a serial connection. Using the printf() over serial is under debate and may not be optimal for embedded systems and that’s what Jacob Beningo over EDN tries to demonstrate. The first problem […]
