Modern embedded systems are expected to operate with predictable timing, continuous reliability, and near-instantaneous response under increasingly complex workloads. From automotive control units and ...

Heterogeneous multiprocessor (HMP) systems, using functionally asymmetric compute elements, such as application processors and microcontrollers integrated within the same SoCs, are now used ...

A look at the current state of affairs suggests that domain experts and high-level-system architects—as opposed to coders and processor experts—have gained significant ability to participate ...

In the world of embedded systems, the language debate is alive and well. For years, C has dominated this space, its minimalistic design and low-level control giving embedded engineers the tools to ...

We’ve explored each element in detail except for secure storage in the previous posts. Today’s post will dive deeper into secure storage and how it applies to embedded systems. Secure storage is often ...

One of the last things the Linux kernel does during system boot is mount the root filesystem. The Linux kernel dictates no filesystem structure, but user space applications expect to find files with ...

Analytics-driven embedded systems bring analytics to embedded applications, moving many of the functions found in cloud-based, big-data analytics to the source of data. This allows for more efficient ...

The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.

Embedded systems are emerging as the latest challenge in the drive to secure deployed U.S. military technologies, including those residing within weapons and flight controllers. Because they are ...

Usable product life is a critical factor in the success of any portable device, and managing power efficiency is a key requirement for embedded systems today. Historically, power management was seen ...

Embedded system developers have a wide range of operating systems available to them today. Of course, the most straightforward operating system is to have no operating system! However, many systems ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Richard Newell, Senior Principal Product Architect, SoC Group, Microsemi Corp. Embedded system designers face a number ...
