An operating system (OS) is an optional part of an embedded device’s system software stack, meaning that not all embedded systems have one. OSs can be used on any processor (Instruction Set ...

A look at the current state of affairs suggests that domain experts and high-level-system architects—as opposed to coders and processor experts—have gained significant ability to participate ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Design, prototype and test individual projects involving microprocessors and related devices such as PAL/FPGA and special purpose ICs. Embedded-system tools such as special purpose compilers and ICE ...

The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...

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.

Usable product life is a critical factor in the success of any portable device, and managing power efficiency is a key requirement for embedded systems today. Historically, power management was seen ...

Embedded systems are emerging as the latest challenge in the drive to secure deployed U.S. military technologies, including those residing within weapons and flight controllers. Because they are ...

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 ...
