Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

Just as in comedy, timing is essential to the success of a microcomputer design. Often it is quite possible to get one system functioning by simply interconnecting the various compo­nents. But it is ...

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.

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 ...

To date, all embedded system manufacturers have legitimately acted in their interests when marketing their products. This market trend unnecessarily slowed down the normal flow of the sector while, on ...

ECEN 5613 is a 3 credit hour course and is the first course in CU's Professional Certificate in Embedded Systems. It is one of the Embedded Systems Engineering program core courses and provides an ...

In the vast and evolving landscape of technology, embedded systems stand as silent yet powerful pillars supporting an array of applications, from the simplicity of a digital watch to the complexity of ...

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 ...

Developers writing embedded Java applications have a stack of frameworks and other tools to choose from. Here are the best Java frameworks used for embedded development today. Java’s creators had a ...

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 ...

When you combine all these benefits, you’ll find that you can write more-secure and higher-quality software. While embedded developers might hesitate to learn Rust, it’s often called a “zero-cost ...
