An embedded system is a microprocessor based hardware system integrated with software, designed to handle a particular function or entire system functionalities. With the rapid growth in terms of ...

At the start of the year, I highlighted key trends in 5 Embedded Software Trends to Watch in 2024, predicting the forces shaping the industry. As the year unfolded, many of these trends indeed drove ...

Despite the fears that Moore’s Law has finally reached its end, the microelectronics sector has adapted to new physical constraints and product requirements through sustained innovation and creativity ...

What are the main issues behind the “painful” process of embedded-systems design? Shortages of resources, components, and talent plague the design process. How the instability of toolsets and driver ...

Conversely,experienced embedded designers know to mask or tent BGA vias at thedesign and layout level. Even when this step is omitted, adesign-for-manufacture (DFM) check mapped out at the planning ...

Solar energy is becoming increasingly attractive as we grapple with global climate changes. However, while solar energy is free, non-polluting, and inexhaustible, solar panels are traditionally fixed.

As system complexities rise and management and market pressures drive tight schedules, engineers find that meeting schedules and budgets are constantly top concerns. The innate, driving, subconscious ...

In any system design, there are always trade-offs that need to be made. Unfortunately, there is rarely a time when you can get your cake and eat it, too! Modern embedded systems have exceptionally ...

Choosing the right computing platform for an embedded device—whether system on module, single-board computer, etc.—involves careful analysis of factors ranging from design scalability to ease of use.

Designs for augmented reality applications need to consider all the uses to which it can be put, write Nick Ni and Adam Taylor. Research has shown that humans interact with the world visually because ...
