Last week there was a bustle of activity at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in Boston. In particular, it was apparent that the use of programmable logic in the form of FPGAs is dramatically ...

In several of my previous posts, we’ve been looking at embedded software testing using Cpputest and build environments using Docker. Each topic is a building block ...

This online computer science specialization is ideal for learners looking to gain an understanding of interface design approaches and architectures for creating solid user experiences in embedded ...

At the intersection of hardware and software architecture, embedded systems are integral in applications including smart devices, wearables, autonomous systems, security and defense technologies, ...

Embedded systems are everywhereꟷin robots, automobiles, rockets, even appliancesꟷand they continue to proliferate even during a downturn in other sectors of the electronics industry. One market study ...

Modern embedded systems are expected to operate with predictable timing, continuous reliability, and near-instantaneous response under increasingly complex workloads. From automotive control units and ...

The last two articles have explored the five steps to designing an embedded software architecture. So far, we have seen a need in modern embedded systems to separate software architecture into ...

What are the main issues behind the “painful” process of embedded-systems design? Shortages of resources, components, and talent plague the design process. How the instability of toolsets and driver ...

The burgeoning workloads of embedded systems development teams means reuse of software code, hardware and hardware IP is increasingly the norm, and the use of development boards in embedded design is ...
