Maximizing Efficiency in IoT Projects with the right File Systems
For a developer skimming through the datasheets of the latest microcontrollers, it’s easy to assume that efficient use of CPU resources, including memory and clock cycles, is, at most, a minor concern with today’s hardware. The latest 32-bit MCUs offer flash memory and RAM allocations that were unheard of in the embedded space just a short time ago, and their CPUs are often clocked at speeds once reserved for desktop PCs. However, as anyone with recent experience developing a product for the IoT knows, these advances in hardware have not occurred in a vacuum; they have been accompanied by pronounced changes in end-user expectations and design requirements. Accordingly, it is perhaps more important now than ever for developers to ensure that their software runs with the utmost efficiency and that their own time is spent in an efficient manner.
