The universe has a natural tendency to take an elegantly ordered system and allow it to decay into pure chaos. The embedded software development process is not an exception to the rule. An occasional ...

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 ...

Creating embedded software can be a challenging endeavor. The experience can range from a well-defined and controlled process to shoot-from-the-hip Wild West-style development. No matter where ones ...

DigiKey and Microchip are hosting a free webinar on embedded systems and software vs. hardware logic on April 30 at 10 a.m.

Embedded software development can feel a lot like an episode of "The Twilight Zone." A developer gets a new project; thinks up the design; develops the low-level microcontroller drivers, middleware, ...

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 ...

The title should really read Embedded Software: My Works. It is an edited version of articles that Colin Walls wrote. As individual chapters, the contents are quite good, but the book as a whole is ...

Every good hardware or software design starts with a structured approach throughout the design cycle, but as chip architectures and applications begin focusing on specific domains and include some ...

The problem with today's existing methodologies is that verification issubservient to design. This principle requires a shift in paradigm,especially in designing complex electronic systems. Why?

The battery management system (BMS) monitors, analyzes and adjusts when necessary, protecting the pack and making sure it consistently meets all requirements. BMS and battery are so intertwined that ...
