Introduction to Embedded Systems Programming
I'm happy to share this introduction because it is not one in C or even in Rust but in Ada.
Predefined Boolean constants (C23)
The future standard of the C language is coming! The header "stdbool.h", introduced in the C99, is removed by the C23. A new built-in bool type is added directly in the language, and so are the predefined constants true and false. With remarkable patience and longevity, we might use them in our embedded projects in 10 years or so.
A bare metal programming guide
It's a beginner guide for developers who want to start their adventure in the bare metal world. It uses the STM32F429, but as the author writes, most of the fundamental parts apply to any other microcontroller.
How undefined signed overflow enables optimizations in GCC

NASA Uses RISC-V Vector Spec to Soup Up Space Computers
Did you know about the RVV spec advantages? If you are like me, and you didn't, this article is a great overview.
PicoWi: standalone WiFi driver for the Pi Pico
In this series of 6 articles, the author writes from scratch a driver for the CYW43439. From the low-level SPI driver to the ARP and ICMP protocols, everything is explained in detail.
