There is often pressure on embedded software developers to develop “good software” or “good code.” The problem is the idea of good code is often subjective. What I consider to be good code might be ...

Embedded systems are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from medical devices to automotive systems to smart homes, yet the most popular embedded programming language poses significant safety and security ...

What is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and what does “real-time” mean anyway? What are the various kinds of state machines, and how to code them efficiently in C? What is object-oriented ...

This installment starts a new segment of lessons about state machines. The subject conceptually continues the event-driven theme and is one of my favorites [1,2]. Today, you’ll learn what event-driven ...

If you talk to almost any embedded team, they’ll tell you they want more code reuse. Reusable drivers. Reusable middleware. Reusable services. Reusable “platforms.” But when you look at most real ...

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.

The annual Embedded World conference brings together thousands of vendors and customers to see and discuss the latest developments in the embedded electronics supply chain. Embedded World is a global ...

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 ...

AES is one of the most widely used cryptographic algorithms in embedded systems today. It protects industrial gateways, FPGA-based communication systems, automotive networks, VPNs, secure boot chains, ...
