In any system design, there are always trade-offs that need to be made. Unfortunately, there is rarely a time when you can get your cake and eat it, too! Modern embedded systems have exceptionally ...

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 ...

At the start of the year, I highlighted key trends in 5 Embedded Software Trends to Watch in 2024, predicting the forces shaping the industry. As the year unfolded, many of these trends indeed drove ...

ECEN 5613 is a 3 credit hour course and is the first course in CU's Professional Certificate in Embedded Systems. It is one of the Embedded Systems Engineering program core courses and provides an ...

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 ...

From hardware to software, Linux and Zephyr, the Embedded Open Source Summit practiced inclusivity for all embedded engineers. The Embedded Open Source Summit (EOSS) is a recently created umbrella ...

Whether wired or wireless, adding network connectivity to an embedded system is a potential game changer. Connectivity, especially to the Internet, brings a host of opportunities and challenges not ...

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 ...

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 ...

For many years, the 8-bit microcontroller has been the workhorse of embedded systems. Design teams favor the size and power benefits that a tightly coupled processor, such as the 8051 microcontroller, ...

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.

Information about the SiBRAIN standard "Plug & play" embedded systems development Thoughts on electronic design from the MikroE perspective Being an embedded electronic systems designer was never an ...
