An embedded system is a microprocessor based hardware system integrated with software, designed to handle a particular function or entire system functionalities. With the rapid growth in terms of ...

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 ...

Embedded Dynamic Random Access Memory (eDRAM) design is rapidly evolving to meet the escalating performance and energy efficiency demands of contemporary processors. This technology has emerged as a ...

Despite the fears that Moore’s Law has finally reached its end, the microelectronics sector has adapted to new physical constraints and product requirements through sustained innovation and creativity ...

What are the main issues behind the “painful” process of embedded-systems design? Shortages of resources, components, and talent plague the design process. How the instability of toolsets and driver ...

Conversely,experienced embedded designers know to mask or tent BGA vias at thedesign and layout level. Even when this step is omitted, adesign-for-manufacture (DFM) check mapped out at the planning ...

With fully interactive products now the norm, mechanical-control circuitry has emerged as an integral part of embedded-system design. Although designers have since the early days of electronics used ...

Choosing the right computing platform for an embedded device—whether system on module, single-board computer, etc.—involves careful analysis of factors ranging from design scalability to ease of use.

Designs for augmented reality applications need to consider all the uses to which it can be put, write Nick Ni and Adam Taylor. Research has shown that humans interact with the world visually because ...

One of the last things the Linux kernel does during system boot is mount the root filesystem. The Linux kernel dictates no filesystem structure, but user space applications expect to find files with ...
