We've seen in the previous articles how Ada can be used to describe high-level semantics and architecture. The beauty of the language, however, is that it can be used all the way down to the lowest ...

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 ...

There has always been a fierce war being waged between C/C++ for the hearts of embedded software developers. The war has lasted decades, with C++ slowly but surely whittling down the number of ...

Different tasks in an embedded system typically must share the same hardware and software resources or may rely on each other in order to function correctly. For these reasons, embedded OSs provide ...

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.

One of the most revolutionary applications of electrical and computer engineering technology is when it is coupled with a physical system, forming a closed loop with sensors, computing elements and ...

Today we’re going to make a little digression from things that we do to look at perhaps why we do the things that we do. This one is philosophical folks, so strap yourselves in. We’ve had an ...

Embedded systems power the modern world—quietly running inside vehicles, medical devices, industrial controllers, routers, ...

Designing an embedded system with security in mind has become necessary for many industries. The drive to connect a device to the internet allows remote attacks on the system. Developers who want to ...

Because the operating system controls the resources (e.g., memory, CPU) of the embedded system, it has the power to prevent unauthorized use of these resources. Conversely, if the operating system ...
