This article first appeared in Builder AU Magazine. Writing software designed to be embedded in an appliance, phone, or some other real-world device is a growth area, but has its own set of challenges ...

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 ...

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 ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

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 ...

Have you and your team ever taken some time to sit down and define what your build system should be? I often see teams start a project with the loose idea that they ...

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 ...

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 ...

Free and open is good. This idea promises transparency and unencumbered availability to all. Unsurprisingly, free and open-source software (FOSS) in embedded technologies is hugely beneficial: ...

One of the biggest dreams anyone has is to make a living doing what they love. For all hackers, makers, and DIYers with a passion for embedded systems, it may make sense initially to pursue embedded ...
