As system complexities rise and management and market pressures drive tight schedules, engineers find that meeting schedules and budgets are constantly top concerns. The innate, driving, subconscious ...

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...

Embedded Software and Hardware Architecture is a first dive into understanding embedded architectures and writing software to manipulate this hardware. You will gain experience writing low-level ...

Embedded software, once a challenge to write, update, and optimize, is following the route of other types of software. It is abstracted, simpler to use, and much faster to write. But in some cases, it ...

Debugging embedded designs is becoming increasingly difficult as the number of observed and possible interactions between hardware and software continue to grow, and as more features are crammed into ...

Electronic control units (ECUs) are vital embedded systems in vehicles; as such they impact numerous functions in a car and therefore must undergo rigorous testing. In any test workflow, ...

In previous articles, we looked at how to configure the kernel as well as the key components of an embedded operating system (OS). This new article focuses on the hardware components of embedded Linux ...

Key elements that drive a battery-cell tester. Three main architectures used to construct a tester. Battery-cell testers are commercially available at many different levels of performance. Performance ...

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 ...
