After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

“Normal” programmers can get away with the assumption that their C programs start executing from the main() function. But embedded developers need to know what happens before that. Lesson 13 explores ...

Embedded systems demand high performance with minimal power consumption, and the optimisation of scratchpad memory (SPM) plays a critical role in meeting these stringent requirements. SPM, a small ...

Computer-maker Thales has announced the PENTXM line of VMEbus single-board computers (SBCs), which utilize 1.6GHz-and-faster Pentium M processors and offer a low-power-consumption design. The PENTXM ...

Embedded systems have become a cornerstone of modern technology, powering everything from IoT devices to automotive control systems. These specialized systems rely on software that is lightweight, ...

A new technical paper titled “ACE: Confidential Computing for Embedded RISC-V Systems” was published by researchers at IBM Research, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Max Planck Institute for Software ...

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 ...

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system project managing real-time constraints while analyzing the system in-order to meet them. Students are expected to ...

Three Purdue University researchers and their teammates at the University of California, Santa Barbara and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have received a DARPA (Defense Advanced ...

As an infrastructure engineer at Meta, the technology company formerly known as Facebook, Abhishikta Pandit’s team is building augmented and virtual reality (ARVR) platforms that could open new ...
