We’ve been looking at using C++ to manipulate I/O hardware. Previously, we’ve looked at the fundamentals of hardware manipulation; and how to encapsulate these mechanisms into classes. If you’ve not been following along I’d recommend reading the previous articles first before continuing.
This time we’ll explore a lesser-known feature of C++ and its application in hardware manipulation – placement

In the last article we explored the design of a class to encapsulate a physical hardware device. In that article I deliberately ignored how the class would actually interact with the hardware.
In this article we explore the options available to us for accessing hardware and the consequences of those

Previously, we’ve looked at the basics of hardware manipulation in C++ and applied that to a simple GPIO implementation.
In this article we’re going to have a look at encapsulating our code in a class and look at some of the design choices we have to make.
If you’re not familiar with hardware manipulation in C++ I’d highly recommend reading the previous articles in this series before continuing.
Even if you’re familiar with the concepts of hardware manipulation, if you haven’t read the […]

C has long been the language of choice for smaller, microcontroller-based embedded systems; particularly for close-to-the-metal hardware manipulation.
C++ was originally conceived with a bias towards systems programming; performance and efficiency being key design highlights. Traditionally, many of the advancements in compiler technology, optimisation, etc., had centred around generating code for PC-like platforms (Linux, Windows, etc). In the last few years C++ compiler support for microcontroller targets has advanced dramatically, to the point where Modern C++ is a increasingly attractive language […]
