Embedded systems are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from medical devices to automotive systems to smart homes, yet the most popular embedded programming language poses significant safety and security ...

“Normal” programmers can get away with the assumption that their C programs start executing from the main() function. But embedded developers need to know what happens before that. Lesson 13 explores ...

Originally published in the November 1988 Embedded Systems Programming magazine. Correction is the final step of any debugging exercise. Sometimes bug eradication is straightforward; sometimes a bug ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Embedded software development is a multidimensional effort that you can address by leveraging open-source compiler tools and operating systems. The design, integration, ...

Despite the hopes and dreams of many embedded engineers, reliable code doesn’t happen by accident. It is a painstaking process that requires developers to maintain and manage every bit and byte of the ...

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, ...

Any electronic system that uses a computer chip but is not a general-purpose desktop or laptop computer, tablet or smartphone. Embedded systems use microcontrollers (MCUs), microprocessors (MPUs) or ...

Although the world of embedded software development languages seem to span somewhere between ASM and C89 all the way to MicroPython, there is a lot to be said for a happy medium between ease of ...

C remains the darling of embedded programmers, but C++ garners a sizable chunk. Using C++ features judiciously can result in code that’s as efficient or more efficient than a comparable C application.

This engineering specialization provides students with the fundamentals of embedded operating systems including a working understanding of how to configure and deploy a Linux based Embedded System.
