The ARM architecture has now established its 8th generation processor which is the ARMv8-R which is used for real-time embedded system products denoting the suffix “R”. The ARM architecture has now ...

New capabilities let engineers build scalable, synchronized multiboard systems with dramatically faster data throughput ...

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 ...

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system project managing real-time constraints while analyzing the system in-order to meet them. Students are expected to ...

The proliferation of multicore processors has done more than provide a boost in processing power to server applications. Multicore chips also pose the opportunity to revolutionize how embedded systems ...

Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) is a standardised modelling language widely used to describe and analyse the architectures of embedded real-time systems. AADL provides a formal ...

Real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux each bring their own advantages for embedded-systems designers. With an RTOS, designers can build deterministic multi-threaded applications with low memory ...

As more complex devices with higher levels of integration are inserted into real-time systems, traditional testing methods are becoming obsolete. The most difficult obstacle to thorough testing of ...

Portable and embedded products that consume less power have a very significant advantage in today's extremely competitive markets. Each generation of product planning must satisfy substantial ...

A newly released update to Linux delivers kernel pre-emption, improved scheduling, and a Posix (Portable Operating System Interface for Unix) for enhanced real-time performance. Depending on the ...
