Collecting My Unhelpful Badge

Chris and Elecia talk to each other about setting aside memory in a linker file, printing using your debugger, looking around a new code base, pointers as optimization, choosing processors, skill trees and merit badges.

Elecia’s Creating Chaos and Hard Faults talk and slides.

STM32 Application Note AN4989 microcontroller debug toolbox includes semihosting. Memfault’s Interrupt blog has a good Semihosting post.

Elecia and Steph’s Embedded Skills Tree. A far more detailed one pointed out by a listener: A comprehensive roadmap for aspiring Embedded Systems Engineers, featuring a curated list of learning resources. 

The most influential book Elecia has never read is You Can Do It!: The Merit Badge Handbook for Grown-Up Girls.
