His background is in low level embedded, c, RTOS He got FreeRTOS running at a conference after sitting with someone who convinced him to consider an RTOS instead of just a superloop. RTOS book Traffic analogy Pyrotechnics Eli was a guest on The Macrofab Engineering Podcast, not too long ago and gave some great background info there as well. Transitioning from FreeRTOS to Zephyr Eli loved nordic parts KConfig and Device Trees Nordic tutorials Eli has a talk coming up at Altium live about his experience in engineering Rick Hartley Lee Richey “Being a student for the rest of your life” What is TZero building? A Tri Clamp based hydrometer that talks over cellular Had been a consultant most of his career, at least on the side SBIR There are companies just diong SBIR grant writing Eli met an investor who said, “The product sucks, but the team is great” and became their patron/investor Sounds like Gerry Roston, former guest of the show Mark Barnhart of NPC Jeri Ellsworth episode where she talks about silicon valley.
