Sometimes, we need an easy way to test and verify that our board works correctly, especially if we are using breadboards and cables. The following simple FreeRTOS thread is able to echo each incoming CAN frame. To use this thread you must enable FreeRTOS using the ST’s CubeMX software which will generate the appropriate startup source code and afterwards you have to include some extra...
The following simple framework is used in almost all the posts here. It provides some extension functions for freeRTOS etc.
In a previous post we saw a simple CAN library to handle the CAN interfaces of STM32 board. However one basic issue that we had to solve is the frames buffering (especially when we receive the frames). This issue came up by the processing time that each frame needs and the limitation that the receive interrupt routine should be as fast as possible. For that reason, the following source code...

Dynamic resources allocation has become even more attractive as a research direction with commodity computing gaining momentum and bringing new requirements regarding elasticity and flexibility and with the growing importance of cloud computing. The aim is to deliver high-performance computational while leveraging on other aspects, such as energy consumption. Admittedly, heterogeneity comes at...
The Controller Area Network (CAN, also known as CAN Bus) is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow electronic control units and devices to communicate with each other in applications without a host computer. STM32F779-Eval board has 3 CAN interfaces, however only the two of them have their own clock (master). For that reason the following library provides some C methods to activate and use...
I have recently been playing with UART and DMA, although i’m still getting my head around it,. DMA allows you to transfer large amounts of data through the system without getting the processor core involved. Rather than the CPU laboriously reading a byte, the writing a byte from one buffer to another, you’d give the DMA controller a pointer to the start of a source buffer, a pointer...
Are you in need of an additional memory larger than EEPROM? Although EEPROM is a very easy and effective way of storing data on the board, the built in EEPROM only offers only a few bytes of storage. When working with larger or more advanced projects we may need to store additional data so an external memory solution. For that reason, MicroSD card enables you to do this quickly and easily. The...
Backpropagation is one of the several ways in which an artificial neural network (ANN) can be trained. It is a supervised training scheme, which means, it learns from labeled training data. In simple terms, BackProp is like “learning from mistakes. “The supervisor corrects the ANN whenever it makes mistakes.” Initially, all the edge weights are randomly assigned. For every input...
In linear algebra, functional analysis, and related areas of mathematics, a norm (l-norms) is a function that assigns a strictly positive length or size to each vector in a vector space—save for the zero vector, which is assigned a length of zero. A seminorm, on the other hand, is allowed to assign zero length to some non-zero vectors (in addition to the zero vector). L1-Norm loss function is...
