What is FreeRTOS?
Embedded devices are the soul of the Internet of Things. Any IoT network is inherently a medium to connect microcontroller-powered “things” via the internet. Microcontrollers at the heart of most IoT devices are simpler, resource-constrained, low-power chips that cannot run a standard operating system. Microcontrollers are often flashed with minimal firmware codes intended to execute…
The pros and cons of the Raspberry Pi 400
In many ways, Raspberry Pi falls short as a full-fledged personal computer. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has tried to change this with its latest addition, the Raspberry Pi 400. Launched in November of 2020, the Raspberry Pi 400 is a single-board computer in the form of a keyboard, retailing at $70 per unit or $100…
