Dojo Five Sessions at Sensor's Converge 2026

Joe Schneider is a visionary leader with over 20 years of experience in embedded systems, specializing in firmware modernization and DevOps for embedded teams. He has a proven track record in autonomous systems, agile methodologies, and innovative product development across a broad range of industries. He has helped over 200 companies modernize their embedded firmware, published the Pillars of Modern Embedded framework, and creates content and thought leadership on modern embedded topics.

Session 1

Exfiltrating Exception Data Across Secure/Non-Secure Boundaries in TrustZone-M

When: Wed, May 6 | 10:30 AM – 10:55 AM
Where: Great America 1
More Details

TrustZone-M (ARMv8-M) partitions microcontrollers into Secure and NonSecure contexts, enforcing strict boundaries in hardware. As Cortex-M23/M33 devices become more common, developers face new challenges in handling low-level ARM hardware exceptions that span these contexts. Off-the-shelf solutions exist—but they’re limited, and many projects must implement their own.

This session provides a technical deep dive into exception handling in TrustZone-M: how to safely transfer exception data across Secure/NonSecure boundaries, avoid subtle traps, and ensure applications remain secure even under fault conditions. Attendees will gain insight into design patterns and test strategies tailored to teams who need to go beyond the defaults.

Joe Schneider, embedded systems veteran and CEO of Dojo Five, will share insights from real projects modernizing firmware under regulatory and security requirements.

Session 2

Modern Best Practices in Embedded Firmware Development

When: Thu, May 7 | 10:30 AM – 10:55 AM
Where: Great America 1
More Details

Embedded systems are more critical—and more complex—than ever. Many teams still rely on outdated workflows that introduce risk, slow down innovation, and make maintenance costly. Dojo Five engineers have distilled their experience into Ten Pillars of Modern Embedded Development, covering architecture, automation, testing, security, reliability, and more.

This session organizes those lessons into practical takeaways that teams can apply immediately. Attendees will learn how modernization improves code quality, shortens time-to-market, and boosts developer productivity while reducing technical debt.

Joe Schneider, embedded systems veteran and CEO of Dojo Five, will share best practices from real-world engagements across industries modernizing legacy code and greenfield projects alike.

Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing, Simplified and Scalable

See how modern embedded teams validate real device behavior automatically—without manual testing bottlenecks.

When: May 5-7
Where: Booth #909

This demo showcases a complete HIL workflow where firmware is built, deployed, and tested on real hardware in a fully automated pipeline. From triggering tests to capturing results, every step is integrated into CI—giving teams fast, repeatable validation with real-world accuracy.
