I²C is a 2-wire protocol where a controller is communicating with one or more targets. Most often the controller is the microcontroller. Targets are sensors, eeproms or other peripheries. This... [...]

With our ExecutionPlatform, you can run unit tests directly on the target microcontroller (MCU). This is called on-target testing.

When working with the ExecutionPlatform, you have the possibility to debug different things. Depending on what we are searching for we need to check code that is running on MCU or to look whether test case is working... [...]

The RP2040's novel Programmable Input/Output (PIO) subsystem allows the execution of tiny 'PIO-assembly' programs parallel to the CPU. It has direct access to the chips DMA-controller and GPIO-pins and is thus a very... [...]

What makes unit tests great? They ensure that functions or components work as intended. Unit tests are also very simple to use. This is because you can focus on a single piece of code - and isolate all dependencies... [...]

We made lot of progress in the past year. More about it below. But another thing really stands out for me: Through many long in-person discussions we gained a much better understanding of the very diverse problems our... [...]
