In-Person: Embedded C++14 in a “SuperLoop” Firmware

Embedded C++14 in a “SuperLoop” Firmware - by Erik Rainey.

C++14 and later are quite capable to fully code an entire firmware project with some good guidelines and policies. Come learn about how to apply modern C++14 programming techniques to deeply embedded firmware projects on microcontrollers.

• Language features for embedded platforms
• Class design and execution model in a super loop firmware
• Coding guidelines and policies to keep a high quality bar in C++
• Communicating over buses with C++ abstractions
• Question and answer session to cover anything else

Amazon applies these techniques and more when designing the Prime Air delivery drones. We are no longer limited to working only in assembler and C as an Embedded Software Engineer.

Our speaker, Erik Rainey, a Senior Software Development Engineer at Amazon Prime Air, has worked in software for more than 20 years across various embedded systems from two-way Pagers at Motorola all the way to flying robots. He was also a primary contributor on the Khronos OpenVX while he worked at Texas Instruments. Erik has worked in nearly every layer of the software stack for embedded devices including low-level assembly code in bootloaders, device drivers, system services, camera based vision systems, and Android Applications.

Food and beverages will be provided. Free parking is available.

Doors open at 6:30PM and meeting content starts punctually at 7:00PM.

We look forward to restarting our regular meetings and seeing you all again, please join us.
