When I first started writing embedded software, the environments that I found to be the most efficient and easiest to use were only available on Microsoft Windows. In fact, it wasn’t uncommon for ...

It seems these days, just about every embedded system has some type of operating system. And there are more options today as to which OS to choose. Is open source your best choice? What about a free ...

Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) is a standardised modelling language widely used to describe and analyse the architectures of embedded real-time systems. AADL provides a formal ...

In the beginning, real-time operating systems (RTOSs) were primarily used in military, aerospace, and high-end industrial control applications. This has changed dramatically as low-cost, fast, and ...

Embedded systems have become a cornerstone of modern technology, powering everything from IoT devices to automotive control systems. These specialized systems rely on software that is lightweight, ...

Trains are no longer the steaming leviathans of yesteryear run by men in overalls with lantern signals. Today, they are gleaming, articulated subways and light-rail transit (LRT) systems moving tens ...

With multicore embedded systems becoming so common, this article outlines some of the basics, reviewing the possible hardware architectures. Broadly, there are two options: Asymmetric Multi-Processing ...

Any electronic system that uses a computer chip but is not a general-purpose desktop or laptop computer, tablet or smartphone. Embedded systems use microcontrollers (MCUs), microprocessors (MPUs) or ...
