The first thing any embedded software developer does when they are told they get to work on a new project is ask for a development kit. A development kit allows the development team to get familiar ...

How you organize your firmware project might seem like a minor detail. It isn't. It's one of the highest-leverage decisions ...

The basic ideas behind continuous testing and integration include: provide faster feedback to developers; build and test the system piece by piece to avoid big-bang integration and big failure; assess ...

Tools for debugging embedded systems range from software monitors and simulators, which are independent of the hardware under development, to custom silicon for in-circuit emulation, which replaces ...

The annual Embedded World conference brings together thousands of vendors and customers to see and discuss the latest developments in the embedded electronics supply chain. Embedded World is a global ...

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 ...

Silicon photonics is rewiring the future of data centers. But engineers need more advanced simulation tools to integrate these light-slinging components with electronics. How silicon photonics ...

DAC 2024: Accellera Systems Initiative, the EDA standards body, reflects the industry’s shift of focus from chip to systems, with the formation of a new working group. The Federated Simulation ...

As we covered last month, embedded motion control is operation-specific code targeted to microprocessors, FPGAs, and PLCs. As hardware becomes increasingly powerful, these controls do the same.
