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 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.

This video is the presentation of Daniele Lacamera from WolfSSL on Secure firmware updates for the Internet of Things. Connected embedded systems must rely on frequent firmware updates, as recommended by security specialists, in order to promptly fix the vulnerabilities discovered. On the other hand, remote firmware updates may introduce additional security issues if not properly designed and implemented. WolfSSL presents a reliable secure firmware update architecture based on wolfBoot, an open source secure bootloader for 32-bit microcontrollers, that easily integrates in existing embedded systems to provide secure boot, fail-safe updates and firmware authentication. This presentation was made on May 8th during the Embedded Experts talk at Nalys' offices in Brussels.

This is a video recap of the 2019 Life Sciences Plenary. This event gathered the Life Sciences division. They welcomed their newcomers, talked organization and strategy and had a look at the future. The event was also followed remotely at the Paris offices through visioconference. More info on the Life Sciences division: https://www.nalys-group.com/en/sectors/life-sciences

During an evening session, Sibrecht, a passionate Nalys expert, talked about his 4-year journey with Home automation. He shared his experience, gave tips on the best applications and integrations to use and showed the open source platform he uses: Home Assistant. The second part of the evening labelled ‘Make your home come alive with home automation’ was a workshop with practical exercises.
