Component-based software helps you get a system working quickly, keep costs down, and reuse the most robust software from prior applications. This article presents methods for creating your own ...

An operating system (OS) is an optional part of an embedded device’s system software stack, meaning that not all embedded systems have one. OSs can be used on any processor (Instruction Set ...

Automobile safety depends on the correct operation of software systems that are built from many different components. For good design, these components must be isolated, on multiple axes, so they ...

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 ...

Enabling a closed-loop behavioral representation of a vehicle’s software and hardware systems for continuous validation throughout the product lifecycle. The rising intelligence and connectivity of ...

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 ...

Every good hardware or software design starts with a structured approach throughout the design cycle, but as chip architectures and applications begin focusing on specific domains and include some ...

What unreliable components to consider removing from electronic designs. High-reliability circuit designs and best practices for PCB layout and wiring. How to implement software techniques that ...

From an embedded software engineer’s point of view, a car has become a mobile box full of embedded systems. This article reviews all aspects of embedded software in cars, including operating systems, ...

Most embedded architects think of AI as a coding shortcut. But the real power isn’t in cranking out boilerplate code, it’s in transforming how we design systems. Imagine capturing key decisions in ...

The very first step in starting an embedded Linux system does not involve Linux at all. Instead, the processor is reset and starts executing code from a given location. This location contains a ...

The increasing complexity of embedded systems within battery management necessitates robust testing methodologies that ...
