One of the last things the Linux kernel does during system boot is mount the root filesystem. The Linux kernel dictates no filesystem structure, but user space applications expect to find files with ...

Embedded-system designers are once again emerging from their cubicles and laboratories to saunter up and down the aisles of the Silicon Valley version of the Embedded Systems Conference in search of ...

It’s often tempting to make one processor handle the entire system load. But sometimes adding a second processor is the best option. DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION ...

As discussed in the first article of this two-part series, there are different challenges involved in designing and optimizing thermistor-based application solutions. These are sensor selection and ...

The previous articles of this series have discussed the innovation and evolution of the integrated-circuit industry and how system-in-package (SiP) devices fit into the market. In the first article, ...

The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.

This online engineering specialization will help you gain proficiency in creating prototypes or products for a variety of applications using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). You will cover a ...

This online computer science specialization is ideal for learners looking to gain an understanding of interface design approaches and architectures for creating solid user experiences in embedded ...

An interactive engineering symposium designed to enhance the design of embedded systems will be held on the Rochester Institute of Technology campus next month. The third annual Freescale Symposium, ...

The C/C++ programming languages have long dominated the embedded systems industry, with very few other languages being able to find a foothold. While languages such as Java and Ada have certainly ...
