ESP8266 Flashing on Manjaro (Arch Linux)

Let’s look at how to use Serial-Port under Manjaro (Arch-Linux) . Our goal would be to flash a ESP8266 chip . More specifically the tiny module ESP-01 .

This may be out of time in the 2020.

I wanted to fix the serial-port issues once and for all.

Here goes my quest to simplify serial-port logging & debugging on Linux.

Zephyr OS Blinky Example for STM32F3DISCOVERY board

We are going to look at a example of Blinky running on STM32F3DISCOVERY Board . Additionally we would be doing Debugging on the Zephyr OS. All this on the good ness of Manjaro (Arch Linux).

This is Part 2 in the series of post on Zephyr OS. In Part 1 we saw how to setup the development environment. In Part 3 we look at how to get started with Application Development on Zephyr OS using our custom blinky projects on STM32F3 Discovery Board .

Zephyr OS Development Using Manjaro(Arch Linux)

The Zephyr OS is based on a small-footprint kernel designed for use on resource-constrained and embedded systems: from simple embedded environmental sensors and LED wearables to sophisticated embedded controllers, smart watches, and IoT wireless applications.

From Zephyr Project Documentation

We would look at initializing the environment and installing necessary dependencies. This is Part 1 in the series of post on Zephyr OS. In Part 2 we would look at an Example of Blinky program running on STM32F3DISCOVERY Board . In Part 3 we look at how to get started with Application Development on Zephyr OS using our custom blinky projects on STM32F3 Discovery Board .

Hence after much spite, I have decided to log it down here.

TL866II Plus on Manjaro (Arch Linux)

The TL866II Plus is a Parallel programmer. Freqenty used in my lab for programming age old chips like AT89C51.

One might wonder what use I have for these old 8051. Well I have big box full of these ! And many of my project still run 8051. Yes!

All this time, Windows was the only way for this programmer.

Since, I am using Manjaro Linux wanted it to work there.

Lets look at how I mad this possible.
