The role of an embedded software developer is quite a bit different from that of an embedded software architect. Developers often jump into the code with the pressure to knock out as much code and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Connected devices and systems have become an integral part of our everyday life and we take this for granted. Finding the fastest way to our destination with a smartphone, reading the news on a tablet ...

AMD’s Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) hardware framework provides Heterogeneous Uniform Memory Access (hUMA) to CPUs and GPUs (Fig. 1). It radically changes the way CPUs and GPUs will interact ...

One of the most crucial components of modern digital systems, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) provide for flexibility, parallel processing, and hardware-level acceleration. FPGAs, in contrast ...

The title should really read Embedded Software: My Works. It is an edited version of articles that Colin Walls wrote. As individual chapters, the contents are quite good, but the book as a whole is ...

What is 'mission-critical' and do we need to rethink the concept in an era of long-lifecycle embedded systems?

In this online engineering course, you will gain experience writing low-level firmware to directly interface hardware with highly efficient, readable, and portable design practices. By completing this ...
