In previous articles, we looked at how to configure the kernel as well as the key components of an embedded operating system (OS). This new article focuses on the hardware components of embedded Linux ...

Restricted budgets and shortened schedules have forced design teams to eschew proprietary designs and adopt open standards for low- to medium-quantity, high-performance embedded projects, such as ...

These GUIs also provide a schematic approach to circuit design. The circuit can be designed by dragging and dropping components from a component list onto the schematic. After this, they can be ...

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 ...

Vision Components based its new VC DragonCam on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor. The company uses the computing power and price efficiency of a quad-core processor. The VC DragonCam board camera ...

The very first step in starting an embedded Linux system does not involve Linux at all. Instead, the processor is reset and starts executing code from a given location. This location contains a ...

How can you cover all the bases for embedded systems security? This step-by-step guide takes you through best practices. Embedded systems security is an essential concern in the modern landscape.

The complexity and density of electronics design has increased, partly due to the rise of the mobile industry, introducing new challenges for printed-circuit board (PCB) designers. Embedding ...

Trains are no longer the steaming leviathans of yesteryear run by men in overalls with lantern signals. Today, they are gleaming, articulated subways and light-rail transit (LRT) systems moving tens ...

Businesses should expect to upgrade computer equipment on a regular basis; as companies expand, so do their processing and data needs, and hardware continues to evolve at a breakneck pace.

“I think there are a suite of things that one ought to do,” Danzig said. “Moving to use more analog in a complementary way, creating separated enclaves, avoiding a computer digital monoculture where ...
