I first met John Lombardo at the Embedded Internet Conference in August 2000. John told me he was working on a book about embedded Linux, which would be published within a year. In contrast to the ...

Developing an embedded system can be a challenging adventure. The blurring of the line between hardware and software requires engineers to live and understand two completely different worlds. Staying ...

At the intersection of hardware and software architecture, embedded systems are integral in applications including smart devices, wearables, autonomous systems, security and defense technologies, ...

Here's another book, aimed at professionals, that covers designing embedded systems. Specifically, it's an introduction to the design of FPGAs and is aimed at “engineers in the trenches”, presenting ...

In Jack Ganssle’s anthology, Embedded Systems: World Class Design, he has collected over a dozen articles that span the embedded system design spectrum. Ganssle’s compilation touches on motors, ...

As we approach the pervasive-computing era in which users will have round-the-clock access to information and services from any location, embedded-system designers are under growing pressure to boost ...

The very first step in starting an embedded Linux system does not involve Linux at all. Instead, the processor is reset and starts executing code from a given location. This location contains a ...

The embedded systems industry is constantly evolving. In my 20 years in the industry, embedded devices have gone from resource-constrained monolithic designs running on 8-bit microcontrollers to today ...

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 ...
