It is not always easy to tell a book by its cover, and Computers as Components: Principles of Embedded Computer Design by Wayne Wolf fits into this category. The title alludes to a component-based ...

If there is one thing in software engineering that is a given, it’s that engineers need continuous education. While graduating college might have made us think that we were “done,” the truth is that ...

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 ...

We’ve explored each element in detail except for secure storage in the previous posts. Today’s post will dive deeper into secure storage and how it applies to embedded systems. Secure storage is often ...

DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION contributed article, which begins on Page 2. Cost is king in many embedded-system designs. To reduce costs, designers will typically call ...

The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.

Fueled by time-to-market pressures and the need to reduce overall system cost, many developers are migrating to Linux and open-systems software in their embedded systems designs. This open-systems ...
