  • embedded-cli

    A simple command-line interface for use in embedded systems.

  • 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.

  • The final addition was a main.c file for testing out the implementation as well as a makefile to confirm we can build it. Overall, fairly minor updates to make it work for us. Here is that commit.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Android-DFU-Library

    Device Firmware Update library and Android app

  • We love Nordic Semiconductor, we have used their Bluetooth SoC’s in several of our client’s projects. Their toolchain is easy to work with, their example code is invaluable, and their support is some of the best in the industry. Not to mention they are one of the most popular brands of Bluetooth radios.
