Talk: Statecharts State Machines and QP/C by Harry McNally

Harry McNally will tell us about State Charts, State Machines and QP/C in embedded systems.

In embedded programming, between big loop and RealRTOS, is a lightweight framework called QP/C which implements asynchronous, event-driven Hierarchical State Machines described as Active Objects.

The frameworks are dual-licensed so they are available for download and use in open-source projects.

The developer, Miro Samek, has over several decades prepared video coursework that describe all approaches to embedded programming including Quantum Programming; the QP/C, QP/C++, and support tools.

For anyone interested in embedded programming, the talk will discuss how HSM statecharts can be used to define and then implement embedded systems.

Many of the coursework examples on real low-cost evaluation boards offer advantages in embedded development comparable to open source software projects that "An example is a thousand instruction manuals".

The talk is for anyone interested in embedded programming and working close to the silicon.
