First it was Dummies. Now it is Know It All. Not bad for a brand name and – in this instance — a pretty good book as well. Embedded Software is a collection of papers from a range of authors. The main ...

Embedded software, once a challenge to write, update, and optimize, is following the route of other types of software. It is abstracted, simpler to use, and much faster to write. But in some cases, it ...

Successfully developing and launching an embedded system requires a wide range of skills in a variety of engineering disciplines. Every embedded systems development team needs knowledge in eight ...

The two most common transport layer protocols are the transmission control protocol (TCP) and the user datagram protocol (UDP). One of the main differences between the two protocols is reliability.

The industrial revolution gave humanity the best present by using technology for such work, which is considered very risky for human beings. The invention of robots during that period gave a boost to ...

If there is one thing in software engineering that is a given, it’s that engineers need continuous education. While graduating college might have made us think that we were “done,” the truth is that ...

The last two articles have explored the five steps to designing an embedded software architecture. So far, we have seen a need in modern embedded systems to separate software architecture into ...

This article first appeared in Builder AU Magazine. Writing software designed to be embedded in an appliance, phone, or some other real-world device is a growth area, but has its own set of challenges ...

The Mirai botnet attack that enslaved poorly secured connected embedded devices is yet another tangible example of the importance of security before bringing your embedded devices online. A new strain ...

The increasing complexity of embedded systems is challenging traditional development and testing methods. This trend is exemplified by Volvo’s new electric flagship model EX90, which features advanced ...

In the world of embedded software development, defects can cripple projects, delay releases, and ultimately lead to failures that affect everything from consumer electronics to mission-critical ...
