Often, however, system architects and domain experts don’t know what target embedded software will ultimately run on. Tung explains that a system engineer working in Matlab might describe an algorithm ...

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, ...

Software development is inherently difficult, expensive and error prone. Additional constraints are imposed when developing software for embedded systems, such as ...

Every developer wants to develop robust systems. No one wants to point to a product that behaves poorly and say, “I built that.” Many factors come into play when designing and implementing a robust ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The tradeoffs involved in building a UI can be many. Making the right choices can make or break your system. The implementation of a sophisticated user interface (UI) brings a number of interesting ...

What are the main issues behind the “painful” process of embedded-systems design? Shortages of resources, components, and talent plague the design process. How the instability of toolsets and driver ...
