My Journey into Embedded Software Programming

As I expand my skillset from full-stack web development, I'll explore the world of embedded programming in 2024. My learning path includes C/C++ and, on occasion, arm assembly language. The Raspberry Pi 3, Tiva C Series TM4C123G LaunchPad, and SI B-L475E-IOT01A boards serve as my experimentation platform. I'm considering focusing my project on developing a communication-based application, whose goal is to enable data transmission and reception. Stay tuned for my articles where I'll share my experiences and insights from this adventure.

I am also sharing notes from my computer science classes that I think are worth sharing and some personal studies of topics I am interested in. You will also find articles about miscellaneous topics that I find interesting. I hope you will enjoy reading my articles. If you do, make sure to share them with your network. Thank you :)

Welcome

In the following ARM assembly code snippet, a simple program is implemented to print Hello World to your terminal:

helloworld.s

.global _start

_start:
    MOV R0, #1            /* file descriptor: stdout */
    LDR R1, =hello_str    /* pointer to the message */
    MOV R2, #13           /* message length */
    MOV R7, #4            /* system call number: SYS_write */
    SVC 0                 /* invoke syscall */

    MOV R0, #0            /* return code 0 */
    MOV R7, #1            /* system call number: SYS_exit */
    SVC 0                 /* invoke syscall */

hello_str:
    .ASCII "Hello, World!\0"

Software Engineering Code Of Ethics

I am passionate about software engineering. So, I would like to end this page by sharing the code of ethics for software engineering in the hope of making more aspirant, or professional software engineers aware of it. I do try to follow these rules as much as possible. If you are interested in reading more detail about this code of ethics, I would redirect you to read it on the official page. This Code was developed by the ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Task Force on Software Engineering Ethics and Professional Practices (SEEPP).

Per their commitment to the health, safety, and welfare of the public, software engineers shall adhere to the following Eight Principles:

1. PUBLIC – Software engineers shall act consistently with the public interest.

2. CLIENT AND EMPLOYER – Software engineers shall act in a manner that is in the best interests of their client and employer consistent with the public interest.

3. PRODUCT – Software engineers shall ensure that their products and related modifications meet the highest professional standards possible.

4. JUDGMENT – Software engineers shall maintain integrity and independence in their professional judgment.

5. MANAGEMENT – Software engineering managers and leaders shall subscribe to and promote an ethical approach to the management of software development and maintenance.

6. PROFESSION – Software engineers shall advance the integrity and reputation of the profession consistent with the public interest.

7. COLLEAGUES – Software engineers shall be fair to and supportive of their colleagues.

8. SELF – Software engineers shall participate in lifelong learning regarding the practice of their profession and shall promote an ethical approach to the practice of the profession.
