Every good hardware or software design starts with a structured approach throughout the design cycle, but as chip architectures and applications begin focusing on specific domains and include some ...

Embedded software, once a challenge to write, update, and optimize, is following the route of other types of software. It is abstracted, simpler to use, and much faster to write. But in some cases, it ...

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, ...

At CES 2024, a French startup is presenting the notion of frugal code in embedded software by identifying and quantifying the optimization potential of the code. WedoLow, a spinoff from three research ...

Have you and your team ever taken some time to sit down and define what your build system should be? I often see teams start a project with the loose idea that they ...

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 ...

The battery management system (BMS) monitors, analyzes and adjusts when necessary, protecting the pack and making sure it consistently meets all requirements. BMS and battery are so intertwined that ...

Large semiconductor suppliers have started acquiring machine learning (ML) software houses in a bid to bolster their artificial intelligence (AI) offerings for embedded systems, and the latest ...

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...

Every communication protocol should have a mechanism to determine whether the received data is valid. I once encountered a team that didn’t have such a mechanism. Their device operated in a ...
