Creating embedded software can be a challenging endeavor. The experience can range from a well-defined and controlled process to shoot-from-the-hip Wild West-style development. No matter where ones ...

Starting on June 20 and running through June 24, Design News will present the free course, Embedded Software Design Techniques. Each class runs an hour, beginning at 2:00 Eastern. You can also earn ...

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 ...

Embedded software and hardware can no longer be segregated in different sectors of the design world. They need to come together. To make this possible a more unified design flow is needed. This new ...

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 ...

There once was a time when system design was completely serial. Entire hardware platforms were designed, prototyped, debugged, and virtually completed before any software development began. Of course, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The problem with today's existing methodologies is that verification issubservient to design. This principle requires a shift in paradigm,especially in designing complex electronic systems. Why?

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 ...

A fundamental skill that embedded software developers need to master is understanding how to write drivers. Within an embedded system, there a typically two types of drivers: microcontroller ...

ByteSnap Design has partnered with Digi International to introduce a managed security service aimed at helping manufacturers keep embedded Linux devices secure throughout their operational lifetimes.
