Overview: C and C++ remain the most important languages for fast, low-memory embedded devices. Newer languages like Rust and Python bring safety, simplicity, an ...

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 ...

Mention embedded programming and most will automatically think of C. But while it’s still the dominant language for the space, these days C has lots of company. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of ...

If you’re an embedded developer, you probably hear about all the cool things in AI, like AI agents, synthetic data, multimodal systems, and more. But let’s be honest, you’re probably ignoring quite a ...

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 ...

Static analysis works on source code and tries to identify errors based on what it can tell about the program. For example, it can highlight “dead code” that will never execute. And sometimes it can ...

In this fourth lesson in the Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) series, you’ll see how to replace the horribly inefficient polling delay with efficient thread blocking. Specifically, in this lesson 25, ...

Every good hardware or software design starts with a structured approach throughout the design cycle, but as chip architectures and applications begin focusing on specific domains and include some ...

From our study of C++, it should be clear that, unlike class encapsulation and single inheritance, which were essentially free in C, polymorphism in C involves some complexity and overhead. In the ...

Successfully developing and launching an embedded system requires a wide range of skills in a variety of engineering disciplines. Every embedded systems development team needs knowledge in eight ...
