Virtualization has revolutionized IT by providing flexibility, convenience, and increased robustness of IT infrastructures. Virtualization has also helped software developers designing for standard ...

Decoupling application logic from hardware lets engineers test firmware on host machines instead of waiting for dev boards.

Firmware engineers are always blamed for late deliveries. It’s almost tradition. The hardware’s ready, management is anxious, and the software team is “still debugging.” But let’s be honest. Firmware ...

The first thing any embedded software developer does when they are told they get to work on a new project is ask for a development kit. A development kit allows the development team to get familiar ...

Energy-driven computing is an emerging paradigm that aims to fuel the proliferation of tiny and low-cost IoT sensing and monitoring devices. Energy-driven computers are generally powered by energy ...

There’s something that kills coding speed—iteration time. If you can smash a function key and run your code, then watch it break, tweak, and smash it again—you’re working fast. But if you have to ...

Across industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical technology, and industrial automation, embedded systems are becoming ...

We are in an era of advanced intelligent electronic systems, from IoT devices in the Cloud to next-generation EVs on the road. Regardless of the application spaces and solutions presented, they all ...

The semiconductor industry has greatly simplified analysis by consolidating around a small number of models and abstractions, but that capability is breaking down both at the implementation level and ...

Digital models are used in a variety of applications and development workflows. They can vary in degree in how they match a physical device. Models can be used as a digital twin (see figure) or in ...

As we covered last month, embedded motion control is operation-specific code targeted to microprocessors, FPGAs, and PLCs. As hardware becomes increasingly powerful, these controls do the same.
