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 ...

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 ...

Many programmers these days, especially in embedded, release needlessly complex code. While this code might work, it is often far more complicated than it needs to be. Complicated code tends to be ...

DigiKey and Microchip are hosting a one-hour free virtual event, covering embedded system design across software and hardware ...

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.

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: ...

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 ...

Originally published in the November 1988 Embedded Systems Programming magazine. Correction is the final step of any debugging exercise. Sometimes bug eradication is straightforward; sometimes a bug ...

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.

Opinions expressed by Digital Journal contributors are their own. The telecommunications industry is one of the most dramatically transformed industries in contemporary history, principally due to ...

“Normal” programmers can get away with the assumption that their C programs start executing from the main() function. But embedded developers need to know what happens before that. Lesson 13 explores ...

DigiKey and Microchip are hosting a free webinar on embedded systems and software vs. hardware logic on April 30 at 10 a.m.
