  • Bazel Build System for Embedded Projects

    by Blaise Lengrand

    Selecting a build system is an essential decision when creating a project. Changing is always painful, especially in a mature repository. Therefore the choice should be made carefully. With this article, I will try to describe a few advantages of what Bazel can provide in the context of an embedded repository and show how to set up a build environment with a cross compiler from scratch.

  • Zephyr Deep Dive: Ring Buffers

    by Eric Johnson

    This post covers Zephyr’s built-in ring buffer API, a component commonly used in producer-consumer scenarios. We will cover how ring buffers in Zephyr work, when to use them, and their strengths and weaknesses. This post will close with an example of augmenting ring buffers with waiting capabilities.
