The design, integration, and deployment of embedded-system software presents many challenges related to the operating system, development environment, middleware, compiler, and other software tools.

Ultimately, companies are working towards a comprehensive platform for embedded design incorporating communication, program execution, system I/O and the design software. This trend began with SoCs ...

A holistic approach, the seamless marriage of hardware and software, is critical for successful embedded-systems design, according to Mitch Maiman at Intelligent Product Solutions. 6. Development ...

Synthetic operating systems might mean never having to port software again. Software can be automatically generated-synthesized-to meet the demands of a changing system. For decades hardware design ...

Accelerate battery-embedded software design with frontload battery management system development. As electric vehicles (EVs) are relatively new to most consumers, trust and confidence come from ...

Bruce Douglass has written a number of books on the topic, including “Design Patterns for Embedded Systems in C,” which is quite insightful. Lesson #5 – Continuously verify and test. Embedded software ...

This trend brings traditional embedded-system design close to the newly coined “mechatronics” methodology, which combines mechanical, electrical, control-system, and embedded-software design.

For all hackers, makers, and DIYers with a passion for embedded systems, it may make sense initially to pursue embedded systems design as a possible career, but without so much information on the ...

Almost all embedded applications nowadays include some licensed software components. This may be as simple as a runtime library provided with a compiler, but can be as complex as an operating system, ...
