Hackaday Europe 2026: Fluid Kernels and Optimizing C++ for MCUs

Hackaday Europe 2026: Fluid Kernels and Optimizing C++ for MCUs

Oftentimes, when we’re using a microcontroller, we’re whipping up some very specific code focused on executing a particular task. The device is set up to execute code that does exactly …. Europe 2026: Fluid Kernels and Optimizing C++ for MCUs.

The device is set up to execute code that does exactly what we want with minimal overhead. Sometimes, there are scenarios where it pays to go with a somewhat heavier setup, wherein the microcontroller runs an operating system for the benefits that offers. Federico Terraneo came to Europe to discuss this very topic.

He talks about kernel architecture, real-time operating systems, and how to best use C++ in the world of microcontrollers. Microcontrolling The talk begins in a helpful place. Federico starts by explaining what an operating system actually is.

Basically, it’s the software that exists between the hardware and the applications that run upon it.
