Talking Tock 13

Mar. 20th 2017 by Amit

This is the thirteenth post in a series tracking the development of Tock, a safe multi-tasking operating system for microcontrollers.

Signpost

@alevy wrote a test app for the Signpost storage module with support for FAT file-systems on an SD Card. The goal is to implement a remote file system over I2C for other modules such that SD Cards can be easily read from the Edison on the controller or other laptops or desktops.
