If something is performing the role of an embedded system, then we surely have to say that it is an embedded system, irrespective of its implementation technology If something is performing the role ...

Security experts have been excited about the promise of physically unclonable function (PUF) technology for many years. It wasn’t until recently, however, that reliable, cost-effective ICs with ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...

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 ...

Today’s sophisticated vehicles leverage embedded systems for everything from infotainment to powertrain management. Even low-end automobiles incorporate scores of electronic control units (ECUs). By ...

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 ...

Hardware abstraction layers (HALs) are an important layer to every embedded software application. A HAL allows a developer to abstract or decouple the hardware details from the application code.

Any electronic system that uses a computer chip but is not a general-purpose desktop or laptop computer, tablet or smartphone. Embedded systems use microcontrollers (MCUs), microprocessors (MPUs) or ...
