C++ for Marine Streamer Positioning and Navigation
This location is shown only to members
Mike Long will give a talk on how he uses C++ in resource constrained devices in marine navigation and positioning embedded devices.
Topics will include:
- Short introduction to the domain
- Building a gcc cross compile toolchain
- Programming and On-chip debugging
- Stacks & Heaps: Linker Scripts
- The time before "int main()"
- C++ on a diet (living without dynamic memory allocation, the standard library, exceptions, and rtti)
- Testable Embedded C++
We will meet at the Scotsman, 3rd floor. Let's meet around 1800. The actual talk will start 1830, but I hope you want to come early to mingle and have something to eat first (they serve pizza and fish&chips). I will probably be there from 1730 to get things up and running, please join meg. The formal part of the meetup ends at 2000 due to a football match, but we can probably find a quiet corner where we can enjoy a few beers. Welcome!
By the way, there are still a few spots available. Perhaps you should encourage a colleague to join OCPPUG? www.ocppug.org

Hi Mike, I really enjoyed your talk. Great stuff. I hope you bring one of those boards next time we meet (in Oxford?), I would love to see you actually booting up the board and run some Hello World applications on it.

Great idea! I'll pack it in my suitcase and prepare a hardware in the loop kata.
