The author argues that, despite a large absolute number of software workers in China, the proportion of programmers is modest, yet the market is flooded with low‑skill developers while truly capable engineers remain scarce, especially in high‑end fields like embedded systems, kernel or AI.
The author, with experience in embedded and web development, recommends C, Python, Shell, and Go as the four most valuable languages, explaining each language's strengths, typical use‑cases, and trade‑offs so readers can choose the right tool for their problems.
The article details the challenges of the legacy Py4OH‑1.0 toolchain for OpenHarmony, explains how Huawei Cloud CodeArts (Py4OH) was used to completely refactor the project with spec‑driven development, AI‑assisted code generation, automated review, and secure, cross‑platform deployment, dramatically reducing code size and development friction.
This article walks MCU developers through three ways to invoke JLINK Script within the MCUXpresso for VS Code plugin, showing step‑by‑step configuration of .jlink files, .jlinkscript files, and the Flash Programmer's custom script field, and explains which method is best for debugging versus flashing only.
This article explains how real‑time operating systems (RTOS) schedule tasks, covering priority‑based, time‑slice, cooperative, and preemptive algorithms, task states, priority determination, and techniques to meet strict real‑time requirements.
This guide explains how to set up a development environment for the OK3588 board, apply the PREEMPT‑RT real‑time patch to Linux 5.10.66‑rt53, configure and compile the kernel, flash it, and then validate latency improvements using cyclictest and stress‑ng under both idle and full‑load scenarios.
This article outlines eight key domains where C is still widely used—including embedded systems, desktop applications, system components, operating systems, language compilers, signal processing, audio/video handling, and databases—highlighting typical projects, tools, and why C remains essential for low‑level, performance‑critical development.
This comprehensive tutorial walks readers through downloading MDK, understanding its core concepts, exploring the full UI—including menu, toolbar, and project settings—offering practical shortcuts, configuration details, and handy usage tips to boost productivity when developing STM32 applications with Keil MDK.
This guide lists ten essential VSCode extensions—ranging from serial terminals and Git integration to C/C++ support and documentation generators—that streamline embedded development workflows and boost productivity for engineers working with hardware code.
Discover a curated list of VSCode plugins—including Serial Terminal, GitLens, Code Runner, Remote‑SSH, and C/C++ tools—that streamline embedded programming, debugging, documentation, and remote builds for developers seeking a lightweight yet powerful IDE.
The Beijing Huawei LiteOS hackathon showcased how the OS's KB‑level kernel, low power consumption, and microsecond response enable rapid development of commercial IoT solutions, with winning teams demonstrating end‑to‑end device‑cloud integrations, lightweight onboarding, and the importance of user‑driven design.
After nearly a decade of work in embedded, web, mobile, consulting, and integration projects, the author outlines four major knowledge areas—engineering methods, system integration, project management, and development—detailing essential practices, design principles, and technology stacks such as C, Android, cloud services, and big data.
