In the last lesson, you encountered the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and you worked out a manual procedure of switching the context from one thread to another. In this lesson, ...

Makefiles are a fundamental tool that every embedded software developer needs to understand. Even if you use an Eclipse-based IDE, behind the scenes, a makefile is generated to build your objects ...

Desktop computers once ruled the computing universe in the distant past that most of us refer to as the early 1990s. But by the turn of the millennium, less than 10 years into their rule, desktops had ...

One of the most revolutionary applications of electrical and computer engineering technology is when it is coupled with a physical system, forming a closed loop with sensors, computing elements and ...

This course will give you the foundation for FPGA design in Embedded Systems. You will learn what an FPGA is and how this technology was developed, how to select the best FPGA architecture for a given ...

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 ...

What happens when intelligence moves off the cloud and onto the device? Edge AI Studio cuts latency, improves performance, ...

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 ...

When you think of an embedded systems class, what do you expect the students to learn? Should they know about single board computers, like the Raspberry Pi or the Beaglebone? Should they know about ...
