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 ...

An embedded system is a microprocessor based hardware system integrated with software, designed to handle a particular function or entire system functionalities. With the rapid growth in terms of ...

In any system design, there are always trade-offs that need to be made. Unfortunately, there is rarely a time when you can get your cake and eat it, too! Modern embedded systems have exceptionally ...

Whendelving into the simulation-oriented models as applied to a typicalembedded control application, it’s interesting to note key touch pointsin a particular implementation. These points often serve ...

Conversely,experienced embedded designers know to mask or tent BGA vias at thedesign and layout level. Even when this step is omitted, adesign-for-manufacture (DFM) check mapped out at the planning ...

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 ...

Solar energy is becoming increasingly attractive as we grapple with global climate changes. However, while solar energy is free, non-polluting, and inexhaustible, solar panels are traditionally fixed.

With fully interactive products now the norm, mechanical-control circuitry has emerged as an integral part of embedded-system design. Although designers have since the early days of electronics used ...

Designs for augmented reality applications need to consider all the uses to which it can be put, write Nick Ni and Adam Taylor. Research has shown that humans interact with the world visually because ...
