And with complexity comes an even greater challenge: debugging complexity. Silent data corruption, elusive timing-sensitive bugs, and intricate interactions across heterogeneous components are ...

Engineers have gained some design flexibility with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the many options for product enhancement that it provides. For example, an industrial control system ...

This series on how to get started using Embedded Linux is on my Open Mike blog. This installment discusses development models. There are two different models of Embedded Linux development: ...

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 ...

ECEN 5613 is a 3 credit hour course and is the first course in CU's Professional Certificate in Embedded Systems. It is one of the Embedded Systems Engineering program core courses and provides an ...

Real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux each bring their own advantages for embedded-systems designers. With an RTOS, designers can build deterministic multi-threaded applications with low memory ...

Designing an embedded system with security in mind has become necessary for many industries. The drive to connect a device to the internet allows remote attacks on the system. Developers who want to ...

Embedded vision systems, sometimes called vision appliances or vision controllers, offer an alternative to traditional smart cameras and PC-based systems. Several recently introduced embedded vision ...
