The basic ideas behind continuous testing and integration include: provide faster feedback to developers; build and test the system piece by piece to avoid big-bang integration and big failure; assess ...

How you organize your firmware project might seem like a minor detail. It isn't. It's one of the highest-leverage decisions ...

Tools for debugging embedded systems range from software monitors and simulators, which are independent of the hardware under development, to custom silicon for in-circuit emulation, which replaces ...

Many embedded systems can be designed and implemented without writing a line of C code using model-oriented development tools. One of these tools, Release 13 of the Mathworks' namesake product family, ...

Mechatronics unites mechanical structures, electronic actuation and embedded computation into integrated systems capable of perception, decision‐making and physical interaction. Simulation and ...

Classical public-key cryptography derives its security from integer factorisation. Diagram by Venus Kolhi. Quantum computers bring exponential computing power, ultrafast calculations, advanced ...

Silicon photonics is rewiring the future of data centers. But engineers need more advanced simulation tools to integrate these light-slinging components with electronics. How silicon photonics ...

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.

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 ...
