Welcome to  

During the last Embedded Experts talk, sponsored by Rombit and Nalys, Jochen made a presentation on #DevOps lessons for the Embedded developer. "The software development world has been shaken up in the last decade by great improvements in software development life cycle execution, release automation, virtualization of runtime environments, service availability and project management strategies. The impact of each of these principles to the actual development velocity and release cycle of software has lately been categorized under the (often abused by marketing) term DevOps (or, within Google, Site Reliability Engineering or SRE). Unbelievable increases in #developer productivity and shortenings of release cycles have been shouted across the software blogosphere. After successfully implementing CI/CD pipelines, test automation frameworks and DevOps transformations in the semi-conductor industry and companies operating in the #embedded space, Jochen has learned and experienced how to apply these principles in our corner of the software development world. We discuss what the underlying principles of DevOps are, how to apply them in the embedded space and how this translates in concrete technical implementations and good practices to live by." Jochen worked in different roles: from hardware-in-the-loop test automation developer, continuous integration & continuous deployment architect to DevOps transformation mentor. Asides from this, he is a big Python enthusiast and loves to teach and coach people in developing their Python and testing skills. Check the second video made during this Embedded Experts talk. The presentation was made by Gerwin, a Nalys engineer, on the use of Rust on #embedded systems: https://youtu.be/rmbz9oGQG5w #docker #embeddedsystem #developer #python #continuousintegration

Online webinar on the power of #Docker and how to use it to its best. Docker emphasizes on isolation so with everyone working from home and isolating from social interaction, we will show you some practical applications that will inspire you to use Docker everywhere. Whether you’re just starting or you’re using this tool every day, this is the video for you! After a short introduction, Tim, software engineer, explains with practical applications, the power of Docker. The last 15 minutes are a Q&A with participants of the #webinar. This is the first webinar of N'tech, the platform gathering technical events to create a network around expertise.

C++ has evolved from C and has been around as an official standard since the 90's. It's still widely used in computer applications where control and performance are the key. It is now more widely used due to the growth of embedded systems and their complexity. Many have been using C++ the way they might have learned at university. But many things have changed, especially in the last 10 years, adopting concepts from other languages and modern programming concepts. In this video we will take you for a condensed journey through C++ evolution, showcasing some of the modern concepts and some things, which should be left to history. Here is another technical video on C++ in embedded applications: https://youtu.be/2yqAMX5WFj8 #programminglanguage #embeddedsystems

Gerwin, an embedded software developer at Nalys, did a presentation on the use of Rust on embedded systems. While C is still the dominant language on embedded systems, it does have its flaws, and as an alternative Rust could be used. Even though it is a young language and is not yet supported on many systems, it does have quite a few advantages to be considered for future projects. This presentation mostly focuses on conceptual differences between C, C++ and Rust, on where Rust shines and where it could do better, on the safety guarantees Rust provides over both C and C++, and on how to bypass those guarantees.

Nalys hosted an Embedded Experts talk on May 8th. This video is the presentation of Bart Verhagen on C++ in embedded applications. In the 21st century, C is still THE system programming language for embedded devices. C++ on the other hand, despite being a superset of C, never reached such levels of popularity. Steadily, it is getting more traction in the embedded community. In order to assess whether C++ is a valid alternative for C for your application, a few questions need to be addressed: - will it save development time? - will it reduce maintenance cost? - will it improve run time performance? - will it reduce safety and security risks? In order to answer these questions, the talk builds a nuanced understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of C++ for embedded applications: we zoom in on the usefulness of the added feature set, performance, memory usage, size footprint, its 'cost-less abstraction' paradigm etc. The video of the second speaker’s presentation is available here: https://youtu.be/BR4c-9qbLlo Check another video on the C++ evolutions throughout time: https://youtu.be/zFqdFNnXvyc Check another Embedded Experts Talk on the use of Rust here: https://youtu.be/rmbz9oGQG5w #C++language #embeddedsystems #programminglanguage

Composites by Alexandra Ispas - aerospace engineer Everybody heard about composites! It’s like the new thing in town, the must-have in the latest period, the WOW of the nowadays engineering. But does everyone know what it is in fact? Why is it that popular? What are its benefits? Does it have minuses as well? Can we use it in our everyday life or it is just a “rocket-science” thing? This presentation has been given during the 2nd edition of the Mechanical Engineering Meetup in Brussels, organized by Nalys.

During an evening workshop, Bruno, a Nalys expert, talks about Memory tricks and how to remember information faster and better. In this second part he talks about the FIG concept (File / Image / Glue). The Body filing system, how to attach words to part of your body using vivid images and a mental glue for a shopping list for example. Part 1 of the evening workshop is available here: https://youtu.be/nym4KNJjwgA This workshop is based on a training by Tom Weber available here: https://www.udemy.com/how-to-remember-everything/

During an evening workshop, Bruno, a Nalys expert, talks about Memory tricks and how to remember information faster and better. In this first Part he talks about making associations between words and numbers to remember a list of words in the right order. He also talks about associations between words and images to make a story.
