As we continue the series on Embedded Systems Programming, this article will present the 2nd part, which is about the hardware or the peripheral circuitry required to run a microprocessor. It ...

I'd bet many people who write programs for embedded systems don't understand the underlying hardware and how it works. Elecia White aims to help those programmers with information in her book, “Making ...

This course is used as the capstone in a three course sequence, including Linux System Programming and Introduction to Buildroot and Linux Kernel Programming and Introduction to Yocto Project. Both of ...

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 ...

STMicroelectronics, the semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, announced the availability to all, including students, makers, and budding engineers and ...

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 ...

At the end of the second article in this series, which outlines a step-by-step process for embedded Linux development, we had the LBox up and running, ready to use for application development. On some ...

This course is an introduction to usability and user experience (UX) design methods that can be applied to embedded devices and systems. UX methods are presented for user analysis, planning, research, ...

When tasks share resources, as they often do, strange things can and will happen. Priority inversions in embedded systems can be particularly difficult to anticipate. Here’s an introduction to ...

For those embedded systems that can’t be constantly watched by a human, watchdog timers may be the solution. Most embedded systems need to be self-reliant. It’s not usually possible to wait for ...
