In the previous posting we looked at defining a custom Dockerfile where we can add specific tools (and their dependencies). From that we created a Docker image and this allowed us to build C/C++ code in a Docker container, ensuring a consistent build environment.

So far we have to build all our code using the native GCC toolchain which is part of the base Docker image (gcc:7.2). However, I want to be able to build an image I can download and run […]

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 […]

Last time we looked at the basics of hardware manipulation in C++.   This time we’ll apply this to some real hardware and have a look at the code
