  • Monitoring a Low-Power Wireless Network Based on Smart Mesh IP

    by Fabian Graf

    This blog post provides a practical tutorial demonstrating a simple APM solution for low-power devices. The solution leverages Zephyr RTOS on an nRF52, and SmartMesh IP on an Analog LTC5800 which can accommodate an arbitrary number of wireless motes. The motes can send a set of performance metrics at certain heartbeat intervals via a framework provided by Memfault. The framework is scalable and allows the creation of a customized group of metrics.

  • Sequential-storage － Efficiently Store Data in Flash

    by Dion Dokter

    While using a full-blown filesystem for storing your data in non-volatile memory is common practice, those filesystems are often too big, not to mention annoying to use, for the things I want to do. My solution? I’ve been hard at work creating the sequential-storage crate. In this blog post I’d like to go over what it is, why I created it and what it does.
