This fifth lesson on RTOS finally addresses the real-time aspect of the “Real-Time Operating System” name. Specifically, in the video lesson 26, you add a preemptive, priority-based scheduler to the ...

After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

Explore the core differences between embedded systems and robotics engineering. Understand their unique applications, fundamental concepts, and how these fields intersect and diverge in technology and ...

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 ...

The open-source nature of RISC-V brings the benefits of a modular and royalty-free instruction set architecture (ISA) that eliminates licensing fees, can accelerate development, and fosters ...

Like in nature, development tools for embedded systems form “ecosystems.” Some ecosystems are very self-contained, with little overlap on others, while other ecosystems are very open and broad with ...

Embedded systems power the modern world—quietly running inside vehicles, medical devices, industrial controllers, routers, ...

In the vast and evolving landscape of technology, embedded systems stand as silent yet powerful pillars supporting an array of applications, from the simplicity of a digital watch to the complexity of ...

The complexity associated with the development of embedded systems is increasing rapidly. For instance, it is estimated that the average complexity of software projects in the automotive industry has ...

What is the concept of entropy? Embedded-system applications that exploit entropy. How to implement entropy. What sources of entropy are available? Computers are designed to be predictable. Under the ...

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 ...
