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 ...

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 ...

This lesson starts a new segment about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) — an important set of concepts critical to understanding any modern software, not just modern embedded software. As usual in ...

What is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and what does “real-time” mean anyway? What are the various kinds of state machines, and how to code them efficiently in C? What is object-oriented ...

ECEN 5613 is a 3 credit hour course and is the first course in CU's Professional Certificate in Embedded Systems. It is one of the Embedded Systems Engineering program core courses and provides an ...

In modern electronics, embedded systems have become increasingly complex, incorporating a variety of sensors and components in many applications including IoT, computing, wearables and ...

AMD has launched its 5th Gen EPYC Embedded processors, designed to enhance performance and efficiency in embedded markets, leveraging the new "Zen 5" architecture. These processors, part of the EPYC ...

BARR-C:2018 is fully harmonized with MISRA C:2012. Many firmware developers choose to combine bug-killing stylistic rules from the BARR-C standard with safety guidelines from MISRA C. BARR-C:2018 is ...

Embedded systems have become a cornerstone of modern technology, powering everything from IoT devices to automotive control systems. These specialized systems rely on software that is lightweight, ...

Embedded systems power the modern world—quietly running inside vehicles, medical devices, industrial controllers, routers, consumer electronics, and countless “smart” products.

C remains the darling of embedded programmers, but C++ garners a sizable chunk. Using C++ features judiciously can result in code that’s as efficient or more efficient than a comparable C application.

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system application using a real-time operating system or RT POSIX extensions with Embedded Linux. The course focus is on ...
