Embedded systems are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from medical devices to automotive systems to smart homes, yet the most popular embedded programming language poses significant safety and security ...

As embedded systems become increasingly complex and incorporate new features and components with each generation, it is no longer possible for teams of two or three engineers to meet their demanding ...

In a recent article in Integrated Communications Design, Mike Downing interviews Curt Schacker, vice president of corporate marketing for Wind River Systems. In the interview, Schacker expresses his ...

This paper presents an instruction set simulator of an 8-bit, MCS-51 compatible CPU core, and shows how to use it in embedded software development process; Method to control and debug CPU using ...

As system-on-chip (SoC) designs proceed on their march to greater complexity, test suites containing thousands of lines of code for system-level verification continue to be written by hand, a quaintly ...

Microsoft's C++ dev team announced that an Embedded Tools extension introduced to Visual Studio 2022 last year is now available for Visual Studio Code as a preview. Microsoft defines an artifact as a ...

Many of today's digital signal processing (DSP) applications are subject to real-time constraints. Burdened by these constraints, DSP applications are growing to a point where they are stressing the ...

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 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.
