The very first step in starting an embedded Linux system does not involve Linux at all. Instead, the processor is reset and starts executing code from a given location. This location contains a ...

Jayakumar Balasubramanian and Maaz Jukaku from Emertxe shared how hands-on learning and real-world systems can turn learners ...

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 ...

This course is used as the capstone in a three course sequence, including Linux System Programming and Introduction to Buildroot and Linux Kernel Programming and Introduction to Yocto Project. Both of ...

CPU power has for the past three decades dictated the way software engineers design and implement embedded-software options. During the early days of the microprocessor revolution, programmers had to ...

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 ...

Trying to understand every detail involved in creating an embedded product that communicates via Internet protocols can be a daunting task. These protocols were created for systems that generally have ...

There are a number of system design factors requiring consideration when implementing an FPGA processor. Some of those factors include the use of co-design, processor architectural implementation, ...

In several of my previous posts, we’ve been looking at embedded software testing using Cpputest and build environments using Docker. Each topic is a building block ...

We are looking for 12-bit systems that are appropriate for handheld meters, data loggers, automotive systems, or monitoring systems. These systems must produce 4,096 possible digital outputs to a ...
