Kirkland, Wa.— Designers working with Xilinx Inc.'s Virtex-4 field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) can create hardware-accelerated applications that can dramatically outperform applications running on ...

The next generation of networked embedded systems necessitates rapid prototyping and high performance while maintaining key qualities like trustworthiness and safety. However, deployment of ...

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 ...

FreeRTOS, the open-source operating system that powers most of the small microprocessors and microcontrollers in smart homes and critical infrastructure systems has 13 vulnerabilities, a third of them ...

The complexity associated with the development of embedded systems is increasing rapidly. For instance, it is estimated that the average complexity of software projects in the automotive industry has ...

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 ...

If you’re an embedded developer, you probably hear about all the cool things in AI, like AI agents, synthetic data, multimodal systems, and more. But let’s be honest, you’re probably ignoring quite a ...

That "uniqueness" was emphasized by the foundation because it readily acknowledged there are other options for embedded systems programming, including Microsoft offerings such as Azure Sphere and ...

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 ...
