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 ...

Developers of embedded and high-performance systems are taking increased advantage of FPGAs for hardware-accelerated computing. FPGA computing platforms effectively bridge the gap between software ...

In the world of embedded systems, the language debate is alive and well. For years, C has dominated this space, its minimalistic design and low-level control giving embedded engineers the tools to ...

Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

Embedded systems have changed a lot in the last 15 years. But until recently a basic building block – the C language – has not kept up. It’s time to start paying more attention to the newest C11 ...

What is the best language in which to code your next project? If you are an embedded-system designer, that question has always been a bit silly. You will use, C—or if you are trying to impress ...

On its own, the software development process has numerous hazards and obstacles that require navigation in order to successfully launch a product. The last thing that any engineer wants is challenges ...

We are working on an RFID-based bus-announcement system. We use Embedded C to perform operations, but we don’t how to incorporate the language extensions into an RFID reader. Can you please provide ...

Dennis Ritchie started developing the C programming language (Fig. 1) in 1969 at AT&T’s Bell Labs. In 1972, Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan delivered the quintessential book, The C Programming ...

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 ...
