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 ...

As computer systems become more and more ubiquitous in everyday items, the workings of those items will require some sort of digital controlling. Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems ...

The design of embedded systems realised in System-on-Chip (SoC) form is increasingly turning to the use of configurable and extensible processors. Such designs start at a high level of abstraction, ...

Jayakumar Balasubramanian and Maaz Jukaku from Emertxe shared how hands-on learning and real-world systems can turn learners ...

CPU power has for the past three decades dictated the way software engineers design and implement embedded-software options. During the early days of the microprocessor revolution, programmers had to ...

What is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and what does “real-time” mean anyway? What are the various kinds of state machines, and how to code them efficiently in C? What is object-oriented ...

For each embedded product, software developers need to consider whether they need an operating system; and if so, what type of an OS. Operating systems vary considerably, from real-time operating ...

Embedded system developers have a wide range of operating systems available to them today. Of course, the most straightforward operating system is to have no operating system! However, many systems ...

Machine vision and embedded vision systems both fulfill important roles in industry, especially in process control and automation. The difference between the two lies primarily in image processing ...
