While the global media braces everyone for a recession, it has become nearly impossible to find and hire embedded software engineers in the embedded systems field. I can’t count the number of ...

Embedded software development can feel a lot like an episode of "The Twilight Zone." A developer gets a new project; thinks up the design; develops the low-level microcontroller drivers, middleware, ...

Moore's Law continues to drive chip complexity and performance to new highs, while stressing and periodically “breaking” existing design flows. Fortunately for consumers of electronic design ...

When I started as an embedded developer (top processor speed was 500 kHz at that time), the job involved both hardware design and application software development (in assembly). Later, hardware and ...

The tools that we use as developers can make a dramatic difference in the speed, quality, and overall cost of the software we develop. Here are five tools that I’ve found to be very helpful. Some of ...

Featuring the QNX® Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and a comprehensive suite of QNX's leading middleware and development tools, the QNX GEDP is a modular and scalable foundational software stack ...

ENVIRONMENT: A global leader in safety and industrial IoT technology is building next-generation connected systems that integrate hardware devices, sensors, and cloud platforms into a unified, ...

The first thing any embedded software developer does when they are told they get to work on a new project is ask for a development kit. A development kit allows the development team to get familiar ...

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...

A certain amount of it, especially the new linux-embedded@vger.kernel.org list, I expect to be a kind of targeted kernelnewbies—but obviously with a more specific focus on embedded issues, and to a ...
