Mike is a Firmware Engineer at Golioth. His deep love of microcontrollers began in the early 2000s, growing from the desire to make more of the BEAM robotics he was building. During his 12 years at Hackaday (eight of them as Editor in Chief), he had a front-row seat for the growth of the industry, and was active in developing a number of custom electronic conference badges. When he's not reading data sheets he's busy as an orchestra musician in Madison, Wisconsin.

How to Update a TensorFlow Lite Model Remotely

Golioth enables AI applications by pushing TF Lite model updates directly to devices. These can be stored locally and begin running without a device restart. This example showcases the Golioth SDK running on ESP-IDF.

How to Write a Zephyr Device Driver with a Custom API

Learn the ins and outs of the Zephyr driver subsystem and learn how to write your own custom driver APIs the Zephyr way!

WebAssembly on Zephyr

WebAssembly runs on microcontrollers, but why would you want to do that? Dan Mangum shows us how to use Wasm with Zephyr RTOS, why you would want to, and he even discuss how to decide if the tradeoffs fit your needs.

How to Send IoT Data in Batches

Golioth makes it easy to cache your IoT sensor data and upload it in a batch process. This guide details how this works from both the device and the cloud side, including many details on dealing with timestamps and destination routing.

How to Debug MCUboot (and Why I Needed To)

Golioth firmware engineer Mike Szczys walks through debugging the MCUboot bootloader using gdb. This is a slightly different task than normal Zephyr debugging, but can help to find tricky bugs.

Connecting Nordic’s new nRF9151 to Golioth

Golioth already works on the nRF9151 SIP and associated Dev Kit from Nordic Semiconductor. Utilize the Golioth Firmware SDK with nRF Connect SDK to connect your cellular device to an advanced IoT cloud immediately.

How to Debug a Network Error in Zephyr

Zephyr has built-in debugging for many of its supported boards. Here's a real-world example of utilizing the these tools to track down and fix a networking error with CoAP.

Taking Your Hardware To Production with Zephyr

Manufacturing is marathon, not a sprint. Chris Gammell walks through five phases of IoT device production, discussing what's involved in each step and how Zephyr RTOS can help during his talk from the 2024 Embedded Open Source Summit.
