In the world of embedded systems, the language debate is alive and well. For years, C has dominated this space, its minimalistic design and low-level control giving embedded engineers the tools to ...

One of the last things the Linux kernel does during system boot is mount the root filesystem. The Linux kernel dictates no filesystem structure, but user space applications expect to find files with ...

In several of my previous posts, we’ve been looking at embedded software testing using Cpputest and build environments using Docker. Each topic is a building block ...

What unreliable components to consider removing from electronic designs. High-reliability circuit designs and best practices for PCB layout and wiring. How to implement software techniques that ...

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 ...

The term “embedded Linux” belongs to the category of distributions used in embedded systems, i.e., specialized electronic devices, which are part of a larger system to be controlled, designed for a ...

This online engineering specialization will help you gain proficiency in creating prototypes or products for a variety of applications using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). You will cover a ...

The battery management system (BMS) monitors, analyzes and adjusts when necessary, protecting the pack and making sure it consistently meets all requirements. BMS and battery are so intertwined that ...

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system application using a real-time operating system or RT POSIX extensions with Embedded Linux. The course focus is on ...

The allure of modular systems is multifaceted, but perhaps the most important aspect is the efficiency. Standardized components, built off-site in specialized facilities reduce material use, minimize ...
