Where code meets reality, embedded systems come at that intersection, demanding precision, efficiency, and careful planning. But how does it become possible, ...

Choosing embedded software tools, such as assemblers, compilers, and linkers, can be quite daunting. Sometimes the decision is made for you; for instance, when there's only one tool-chain available, ...

Computer engineering encompasses a wide range of topics surrounding this interaction between hardware and software. Computer engineers of the future will be versatile full-stack developers, ...

Support would appear to be another value of commercial tools. Embedded Linux users or prospects that had previously depended upon homegrown solutions are generally confident that they have the ...

The appeal of embedded systems is clear. A high degree of configurability, readily available commercial intellectual property (IP), and the use of well-understood and accepted protocols and bus ...

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 ...

Nowadays, the major part of innovations in modern cars are introduced by Electrical/Electronic (E/E) architectures and the applications implemented upon them. Although notable developments and new ...

If there is one thing in software engineering that is a given, it’s that engineers need continuous education. While graduating college might have made us think that we were “done,” the truth is that ...

When I first started to develop embedded software more than 15 years ago, embedded software engineers had a very specific skillset. They were often electrical engineers who not only understood how the ...

This kit usually contains documentation, header files, libraries, and some samples. It is the definitive resource for the operating system's driver-model requirements. According to Seung Yi, a ...

The drive toward embedded instrumentation is not new. The force of miniaturization has been pervasive in the industry for more than three decades. Typically, it’s only a matter of time before a ...
