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 ...

The universe has a natural tendency to take an elegantly ordered system and allow it to decay into pure chaos. The embedded software development process is not an exception to the rule. An occasional ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 annual show for the embedded electronics supply chain showcased many innovations in edge AI and connected, intelligent systems that can perceive and act in real time.

One interesting fact that I’ve noticed about embedded software development is that development processes and techniques tend to lag the general software industry. When I first started to write ...

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 and Hardware Architecture is a first dive into understanding embedded architectures and writing software to manipulate this hardware. You will gain experience writing low-level ...

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 ...

Luca de Alfaro, an assistant professor of computer engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has received a prestigious award from the National Science Foundation’s Faculty Early Career ...
