Because the operating system controls the resources (e.g., memory, CPU) of the embedded system, it has the power to prevent unauthorized use of these resources. Conversely, if the operating system ...

For each embedded product, software developers need to consider whether they need an operating system; and if so, what type of an OS. Operating systems vary considerably, from real-time operating ...

Embedded Linux systems are becoming increasingly common due to their superior accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and ...

The next area of information to extract from the requirements document relates to communication pathways, both within the system and between the system and any external systems—specifically, ...

This document describes the issues faced when building hardware and software systems where the success of the project is dependant on requirements being fully supported and tested. Where the cost of ...

Deep learning techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) have significantly increased the accuracy—and therefore the adoption rate—of embedded vision for embedded systems. Starting with ...

Capers Jones is one of the most prolific software researchers around. He has a vast collection of metrics from many thousands of real-world projects. His book The Economics of Software Quality is ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

Reliable programs need to be tested and checked before problems occur. Static and dynamic analysis should be in every embedded developer's toolbox. Many developers employ code coverage tools but ...

Mitwell announces the market entry of the KUBE-2100, a palm-sized, fan-less embedded system featuring the latest 14nm Intel Atom N3350 processor. Its compact 95 x 97.4 x 36 mm design, low power ...

At the start of the year, I highlighted key trends in 5 Embedded Software Trends to Watch in 2024, predicting the forces shaping the industry. As the year unfolded, many of these trends indeed drove ...
