The design, integration, and deployment of embedded-system software presents many challenges related to the operating system, development environment, middleware, compiler, and other software tools.

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 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 ...

Embedded software and hardware can no longer be segregated in different sectors of the design world. They need to come together. To make this possible a more unified design flow is needed. This new ...

When I first started to develop embedded software more than 15 years ago, embedded software engineers had a very specific skillset. They were often electrical engineers who not only understood how the ...

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 ...
