Embedded systems software can be a big competitive advantage. For a vehicle, software can make an already comfortable ride even more appealing and better than that of a competitive product. It can ...

All electronic systems carry the possibility of failure. An embedded system has intrinsic intelligence that facilitates the possibility of predicting failure and mitigating its effects. This two-part ...

Every developer wants to develop robust systems. No one wants to point to a product that behaves poorly and say, “I built that.” Many factors come into play when designing and implementing a robust ...

The idea of unit testing has been around for many years. "Test early, test often" is a mantra that concerns unit testing as well. However, in practice, not many software projects have the luxury of ...

Researchers have developed a technique for detecting types of malware that use a system's architecture to thwart traditional security measures. The new detection approach works by tracking power ...

Testing, alone, cannot find all potential failure points for real-time embedded software, particularly in multithreading environments. In part 2 of Sean Beatty's article on errors that escape ...

The model 25-2-6 SPI Converter connects an RS-232 serial interface to serial peripheral interface (SPI). It can be used to test SPI devices. It also can support the use of an SPI system without a host ...

The spectroscopy modules deliver cleaner spectral data and more reliable material analysis for portable, embedded, industrial & laboratory systems.

Nearly every embedded system requires some level of security, whether its just the basics to lock down the programming port or something more complex to protect a connected device from hackers. For ...
