In the world of embedded systems, the language debate is alive and well. For years, C has dominated this space, its minimalistic design and low-level control giving embedded engineers the tools to ...

One of the last things the Linux kernel does during system boot is mount the root filesystem. The Linux kernel dictates no filesystem structure, but user space applications expect to find files with ...

The term “embedded Linux” belongs to the category of distributions used in embedded systems, i.e., specialized electronic devices, which are part of a larger system to be controlled, designed for a ...

At the intersection of hardware and software architecture, embedded systems are integral in applications including smart devices, wearables, autonomous systems, security and defense technologies, ...

The last two articles have explored the five steps to designing an embedded software architecture. So far, we have seen a need in modern embedded systems to separate software architecture into ...

In several of my previous posts, we’ve been looking at embedded software testing using Cpputest and build environments using Docker. Each topic is a building block ...

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 ...

The burgeoning workloads of embedded systems development teams means reuse of software code, hardware and hardware IP is increasingly the norm, and the use of development boards in embedded design is ...

The 8-bit microcontroller remains a vital component in embedded design due to its power efficiency, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. When equipped with advanced CIPs and intelligent analog ...
