Every entry compiles. Every config deploys.

20+ domains. Bare-metal embedded to LLM orchestration. Organized by domain, not difficulty — with failure modes documented alongside working solutions.

Dual-core task pinning under ISR pressure

Search, filter, read inline, or download

When the ISR fires at 40 kHz on core 0, the FreeRTOS scheduler on core 1 stalls. This entry documents the pinning fix, the queue depth that broke first, and the watchdog config that surfaced the real fault.

Tag filters narrow entries to exact intersection — not category approximations. Every filtered view returns entries where the code was verified to run.

Includes: annotated .c source, sdkconfig diff, oscilloscope capture description, and three documented failure modes with root-cause analysis.

The reference grows with every shipped system. Entries are added when the constraint is understood — not when the feature is announced.
