Last week there was a bustle of activity at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in Boston. In particular, it was apparent that the use of programmable logic in the form of FPGAs is dramatically ...

A look at the current state of affairs suggests that domain experts and high-level-system architects—as opposed to coders and processor experts—have gained significant ability to participate ...

As a technical editor, I am faced with the challenge of both tracking broad trends that allow me to spot the hot spots, but at the same time drill down in key areas to deal with issues specific to a ...

In an attempt to capitalize on the huge opportunity in the embedded systems market, and the dominance of the Java programming platform, Oracle has unwrapped a new set of offerings facilitating the ...

Apply modern C++ to that module. Use constexpr for configuration constants. Replace raw arrays with std::array. Wrap resource ...

Embedded systems are emerging as the latest challenge in the drive to secure deployed U.S. military technologies, including those residing within weapons and flight controllers. Because they are ...

Heterogeneous multiprocessor (HMP) systems, using functionally asymmetric compute elements, such as application processors and microcontrollers integrated within the same SoCs, are now used ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

Cost is king in many embedded-system designs. To reduce costs, designers will typically call upon a single microprocessor to run the whole show, figuring that fewer parts mean lower cost. But ...

Embedded-system design has never been more exciting and challenging. New technologies ranging from 5G to PCI Express Gen 5 to the increased use of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI ...

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, ...

How can you cover all the bases for embedded systems security? This step-by-step guide takes you through best practices. Embedded systems security is an essential concern in the modern landscape.
