The next step in the system level of the design described in Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 of this series is to map out the communications between the various tasks and peripherals in the system.

In Jack Ganssle’s anthology, Embedded Systems: World Class Design, he has collected over a dozen articles that span the embedded system design spectrum. Ganssle’s compilation touches on motors, ...

Electronic control units (ECUs) are vital embedded systems in vehicles; as such they impact numerous functions in a car and therefore must undergo rigorous testing. In any test workflow, ...

The increasing complexity of embedded systems within battery management necessitates robust testing methodologies that ...

The burgeoning workloads of embedded systems development teams means reuse of software code, hardware and hardware IP is increasingly the norm, and the use of development boards in embedded design is ...

We've seen in the previous articles how Ada can be used to describe high-level semantics and architecture. The beauty of the language, however, is that it can be used all the way down to the lowest ...

1. In a big company, doing ASIC design verification for a WCDMA modem for 3G cellular chips. 2. Small company, doing Embedded Software Programming. Working on the design and implementation of layer 1 ...

Now, what I'm about to tell you will blow your socks off. The problem is that there are so many facets to this – and it's so amazingly cool – that it takes a little while to wrap one's brain around ...
