Creating embedded software can be a challenging endeavor. The experience can range from a well-defined and controlled process to shoot-from-the-hip Wild West-style development. No matter where ones ...

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 ...

The universe has a natural tendency to take an elegantly ordered system and allow it to decay into pure chaos. The embedded software development process is not an exception to the rule. An occasional ...

Every time a new embedded software project starts, the air is electrified with energy, hope, and excitement. For engineers, there are few things on Earth as exciting as creating a new project and ...

ByteSnap Design, the UK design consultancy, has published insights on MISRA C compliance for safety-critical software.

One interesting fact that I’ve noticed about embedded software development is that development processes and techniques tend to lag the general software industry. When I first started to write ...

The last three articles have explored the five steps to designing an embedded software architecture. So far, we’ve separated our software architecture into hardware-dependent and independent ...

The battery management system (BMS) monitors, analyzes and adjusts when necessary, protecting the pack and making sure it consistently meets all requirements. BMS and battery are so intertwined that ...

To help Qt users get started on embedded software development, Digia created the Qt Enterprise Embedded platform. It provides a flexible, full-framework modular architecture to deliver scalability. To ...

Every good hardware or software design starts with a structured approach throughout the design cycle, but as chip architectures and applications begin focusing on specific domains and include some ...
