How to Transition from nRF5 SDK to Zephyr NCS Lessons from Ultrahuman's Journey

At Ultrahuman, innovation is at the core of everything we do. Our health devices, powered by the nRF52840 SoC for BLE functionality, rely on Nordic Semiconductor’s renowned wireless technology. For years, the nRF5 SDK was the cornerstone of firmware development for these chipsets, but in 2018, Nordic introduced the nRF-Connect SDK(NCS), built on Zephyr RTOS, signaling a new era for BLE applications.

Open source at Grafana Labs: 2024 year in review

Open source has always been the bedrock for everything we build here at Grafana Labs, going all the way back to Grafana creator Torkel Ödegaard’s first commit in December 2013. Ten years after Grafana Labs was founded, open source continued to be our driving force as we worked to develop and evolve our core OSS tools and technologies in 2024.

Observability in the Age of AI

This post was written by Charity Majors and Phillip Carter. In May of 2023, we released the Honeycomb Query Assistant, an LLM-backed feature that lets engineers use natural language to generate and execute queries against their telemetry data. Instead of having to master a domain-specific query language, you can simply type in things like “slow endpoints by status code” and the Query Assistant will generate a relevant Honeycomb query for you to iterate on.

How Diesel Exhaust Fluid Helps Meet Environmental Standards and Regulations

Diesel engines have powered various sectors, from transportation to agriculture, for decades. However, they also produce significant amounts of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter, which harm the environment and public health. In response to growing environmental concerns, manufacturers and regulatory agencies have implemented stringent standards, compelling diesel operators to utilize technologies and fluids designed to minimize emissions.

Everything You Need to Know About Flame Retardants in Technology: A Complete Guide

Taking out your phone, or plugging in your laptop. Two common activities we don't give a second thought - but, do you know what stops these seemingly mundane actions from causing fires? Why your device doesn't spontaneously combust while being charged? Flame retardants --yet another hero making advanced technology possible. We don't notice them, but flame retardants play a crucial role in certifying our electronics, appliances, and even large-scale industrial systems as safe to use.
