Successfully developing and launching an embedded system requires a wide range of skills in a variety of engineering disciplines. Every embedded systems development team needs knowledge in eight ...

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...

All electronic systems carry the possibility of failure. An embedded system has intrinsic intelligence that facilitates the possibility of predicting failure and mitigating its effects. This two-part ...

In the world of embedded software development, defects can cripple projects, delay releases, and ultimately lead to failures that affect everything from consumer electronics to mission-critical ...

I have already mentioned the biggest difference between writing a program for a desktop computer and for a small microcontroller: the absence of an operating system (in most cases). The impact of this ...

There are many differences between some of today’s embedded systems andthose of days gone by, and some of the underlying changes havesignificant unexpected consequences. Perhaps the greatest change ...

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 ...

Deep learning techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) have significantly increased the accuracy—and therefore the adoption rate—of embedded vision for embedded systems. Starting with ...

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 ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The design, integration, and deployment of embedded-system software presents many challenges related to the operating system, development environment, ...

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 ...

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 ...
