Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Embedded software development is a multidimensional effort that you can address by leveraging open-source compiler tools and operating systems. The design, integration, ...

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.

Embedded system licensing is the combination of hardware and software into a single offering, converting traditional hardware vendors into innovative software vendors. This enables manufacturers of ...

The embedded hypervisor software market offers key opportunities in system consolidation, safety-critical applications, and ...

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 ...

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...

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 ...

In my previous post, I discussed key embedded system characteristics that in many cases require optimization. These characteristics include system timing, code size, RAM usage, and energy consumption.

Synthetic operating systems might mean never having to port software again. Software can be automatically generated-synthesized-to meet the demands of a changing system. For decades hardware design ...

The capability of an embedded system to play audio is becoming a fairly common feature in today’s devices. Audio provides great feedback to a user, but with so much high-fidelity audio available today ...
