C++ Sender Patterns to Wrangle C++ Concurrency in Embedded Devices - Michael Caisse - CppCon 2024
---
Small embedded devices might only have one processing core but hardware accelerators, peripherals, and external events abound. Asynchronous event handling is the bread and butter of these systems; however, the lack of robust libraries in the bare-metal arena often result in a concurrency nightmare.
After a short sender/receiver primer, we will explore some patterns and idioms that have proven useful when employing the design in a high availability, complex embedded device. We will use Intel's open source bare-metal senders and receivers library (github.com/intel/cpp-baremetal-senders-and-receivers) as well as other open source packages to build elegant, declarative solutions around interrupt handling, schedulers, devices drivers, and communication protocols. The patterns will be demonstrated on an STM32 target controlling a simple robot.
While this talk is focused on bare-metal implementations and embedded concerns, the shape of a solution is applicable to many domains and environments. Join me as we wrangle concurrency using the sender and receiver design.

CppCon is the annual, week-long face-to-face gathering for the entire C++ community. The conference is organized by the C++ community for the community. You will enjoy inspirational talks and a friendly atmosphere designed to help attendees learn from each other, meet interesting people, and generally have a stimulating experience. Taking place this year in Aurora, Colorado, near the Denver airport, and including multiple diverse tracks, the conference will appeal to anyone from C++ novices to experts.
