shairport-sync
AirPlay audio player. Shairport Sync adds multi-room capability with Audio Synchronisation
Project mention: remote controlled music player question | reddit.com/r/RASPBERRY_PI_PROJECTS | 2022-01-10Give this a look if you are using Apple devices, it lets you connect via AirPlay to your Pi https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync Additionally, if you are looking to set up a server with your own media and play that from any device connected on your network take a look at https://www.picoreplayer.org/. PiCore also supports the mentioned option for connecting via AirPlay with shairportsync

Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

My other suggestion would be to try a different graphics library. I use one called U8G2 that I think is way better than the Adafruit library. You can find info on it here: https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2
-
printf
Tiny, fast, non-dependent and fully loaded printf implementation for embedded systems. Extensive test suite passing.
Project mention: A 1 hour interview for an embedded engineering position | reddit.com/r/C_Programming | 2021-08-24There are many good and tiny printf's fir embedded on GitHub. https://github.com/mpaland/printf eg Better than the bsd printf mostly

Project mention: How to set the max characters in fscanf to be a variable or macro? | reddit.com/r/C_Programming | 2021-08-22
One simple format is INI, which has the benefit of being simple and ubiquitous. It has rules for quoting and whitespace. It's human readable and human editable. ini.h is a very simple INI parser library, but there are loads of them.
-
wolfssl
The wolfSSL library is a small, fast, portable implementation of TLS/SSL for embedded devices to the cloud. wolfSSL supports up to TLS 1.3!
There are many notable open-source projects (SSLyze, CipherScan, testssl.sh, tls-scan, …) and several SaaS solutions (CryptCheck, CypherCraft, Hardenize, ImmuniWeb, Mozilla Observatory, SSL Labs, …) to do a security setting analysis, especially when we are talking about TLS, which is the most common and popular cryptographic protocol. However, most of these tools heavily depend on one or more versions of one or more cryptographic protocol libraries, like GnuTLS, OpenSSL, or wolfSSL. But why is this such a problem?

-
SonarQube
Static code analysis for 29 languages.. Your projects are multi-language. So is SonarQube analysis. Find Bugs, Vulnerabilities, Security Hotspots, and Code Smells so you can release quality code every time. Get started analyzing your projects today for free.
-
xboot
The extensible bootloader for embedded system with application engine, write once, run everywhere.
Project mention: Kraken Security Labs Finds Flaws in Safepal S1 Hardware Wallet | Kraken Blog | reddit.com/r/Kraken | 2021-02-16Most Allwinner devices use U-Boot as a second stage bootloader, however U-Boot could not be found on the flash-system. Instead, references to “XBOOT” and “XTAB” were found in the flash, though this did not match any known bootloader such as https://github.com/xboot/xboot.
-
libhydrogen
A lightweight, secure, easy-to-use crypto library suitable for constrained environments.
Project mention: Ask HN: Are there small alternatives to libsodium/NaCL | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-08-31Are you possibly thinking of libhydrogen?
-
MuditaOS
Mobile operating system based on FreeRTOS™ optimized for E Ink displays - developed for Mudita Pure minimalist phone
Project mention: First Review of the Mudita Pure (Text Based) | reddit.com/r/dumbphones | 2021-12-10Source: https://github.com/mudita/MuditaOS/blob/master/image/assets/profiles/English_lower.json

fwup for image creation
-
libc
libc targeted for embedded systems usage. Reduced set of functionality (due to embedded nature). Chosen for portability and quick bringup. (by embeddedartistry)
-
totalcross
TotalCross is a Software Development Kit that helps cross platform application development. Currently supported platforms are: Windows, Wince, Android, iOS, Linux and Linux ARM for embedded systems.
You can join the TotalCross community through the official website, GitHub and Discord. It will be a great experience and you are sure to learn a lot of great things! Look forward to seeing you there!

Luos
Luos technology main library: open source and real-time orchestrator for distributed architectures, to easily design, test and deploy embedded applications on multi-MCUs products.
Project mention: Curious about how to develop safe, fast, and lightweight embedded microservices? | reddit.com/r/u_Luos_io | 2021-11-13 -
libcaer
Minimal C library to access, configure and get data from neuromorphic sensors and processors. Currently supported devices are the Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS), the DAVIS cameras, and the Dynap-SE neuromorphic processor. THIS IS A MIRROR. ORIGINAL PROJECT LIVES AT https://gitlab.com/inivation/libcaer
But that assumes that with the DEPENDS flag it can find the library at https://github.com/inivation/libcaer

I don't use the Nuclei Studio IDE but I can also vouch for the Nuclei SDK. I did a write up about different ways of flashing the Longan Nano a while ago. Maybe it can help you debug the PIO flashing problem.
-
To get started, we did what most engineers do - and that’s try not to reinvent the wheel. I found this GitHub repo for a very light-weight, easy to integrate, embedded CLI.
-
uC-LIB
Designed with Micrium’s renowned quality, scalability and reliability, the purpose of µC/LIB is to provide a clean, organized ANSI C implementation of the most common standard library functions, macros, and constants.
