Embedded system developers have a wide range of operating systems available to them today. Of course, the most straightforward operating system is to have no operating system! However, many systems ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...

Heterogeneous multiprocessor (HMP) systems, using functionally asymmetric compute elements, such as application processors and microcontrollers integrated within the same SoCs, are now used ...

Consider a smart home display that uses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth mesh and local voice recognition. The embedded processor manages the wireless protocols, runs the voice model and powers the user interface.

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 ...

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.

Analytics-driven embedded systems bring analytics to embedded applications, moving many of the functions found in cloud-based, big-data analytics to the source of data. This allows for more efficient ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The design, integration, and deployment of embedded-system software presents many challenges related to the operating system, development environment, ...

The Industrial Embedded System Market is expanding steadily as manufacturers adopt energy-efficient, high-performance embedded platforms for automation and real-time control, with the U.S. market ...

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 ...
