Automatic-code-generation software produces optimized, error-free source code from a graphical model of the system. Wide acceptance of UML promises to standardize software architectural descriptions ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The design, integration, and deployment of embedded-system software presents many challenges related to the operating system, development environment, ...

Real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux each bring their own advantages for embedded-systems designers. With an RTOS, designers can build deterministic multi-threaded applications with low memory ...

The capacitive sensing user interface has established itself in recent years as a practical and innovative upgrade for push buttons in many types of consumer goods. A light tap on a smooth surface or ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Three Purdue University researchers and their teammates at the University of California, Santa Barbara and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have received a ...

Nearly every embedded system uses interrupt service routines (ISRs). If you need to keep track of time, you likely have a timer interrupt that generates a system tick. If you have a USART, you’re ...

If you’re an embedded developer, you probably hear about all the cool things in AI, like AI agents, synthetic data, multimodal systems, and more. But let’s be honest, you’re probably ignoring quite a ...

The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.

Embedded systems security is an essential concern in the modern landscape. Products ranging from aircraft control to washing machines contain and need them to run correctly. Many embedded systems work ...
