From flowcharts to firmware, the embedded design pipeline is evolving. This article examines AI’s growing influence on embedded design workflows.

An operating system (OS) is an optional part of an embedded device’s system software stack, meaning that not all embedded systems have one. OSs can be used on any processor (Instruction Set ...

A look at the current state of affairs suggests that domain experts and high-level-system architects—as opposed to coders and processor experts—have gained significant ability to participate ...

At the intersection of hardware and software architecture, embedded systems are integral in applications including smart devices, wearables, autonomous systems, security and defense technologies, ...

An elegant solution to many embedded software systems problems is leveraging data-centric software design. Data is at the heart of every embedded system. First, data is acquired through sampling ...

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 ...

As more complex devices with higher levels of integration are inserted into real-time systems, traditional testing methods are becoming obsolete. The most difficult obstacle to thorough testing of ...

Embedded systems are emerging as the latest challenge in the drive to secure deployed U.S. military technologies, including those residing within weapons and flight controllers. Because they are ...

Embedded-system design has never been more exciting and challenging. New technologies ranging from 5G to PCI Express Gen 5 to the increased use of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI ...

When you combine all these benefits, you’ll find that you can write more-secure and higher-quality software. While embedded developers might hesitate to learn Rust, it’s often called a “zero-cost ...

The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.
