Virtualization has revolutionized IT by providing flexibility, convenience, and increased robustness of IT infrastructures. Virtualization has also helped software developers designing for standard ...

The first thing any embedded software developer does when they are told they get to work on a new project is ask for a development kit. A development kit allows the development team to get familiar ...

Firmware engineers are always blamed for late deliveries. It’s almost tradition. The hardware’s ready, management is anxious, and the software team is “still debugging.” But let’s be honest. Firmware ...

Energy-driven computing is an emerging paradigm that aims to fuel the proliferation of tiny and low-cost IoT sensing and monitoring devices. Energy-driven computers are generally powered by energy ...

The last two articles have explored the five steps to designing an embedded software architecture. So far, we have seen a need in modern embedded systems to separate software architecture into ...

How you organize your firmware project might seem like a minor detail. It isn't. It's one of the highest-leverage decisions ...

Debugging embedded designs is becoming increasingly difficult as the number of observed and possible interactions between hardware and software continue to grow, and as more features are crammed into ...

As we covered last month, embedded motion control is operation-specific code targeted to microprocessors, FPGAs, and PLCs. As hardware becomes increasingly powerful, these controls do the same.
