The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.

All electronic systems carry the possibility of failure. An embedded system has intrinsic intelligence that facilitates the possibility of predicting failure and mitigating its effects. This two-part ...

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 ...

How embedded AI hardware reliability is handled in the defense and aerospace fields. How that reliability is assured and tested. With artificial intelligence progressing into areas as diverse as ...

Embedded systems power the modern world—quietly running inside vehicles, medical devices, industrial controllers, routers, ...

Embedded control systems are increasingly connected to complex local area networks, such as controller area networks (CAN) with up to 100 nodes, ZigBee wireless control networks with thousands of ...

As we progress, technology is becoming smarter, faster, and more efficient. Advancements such as embedded systems and automation leading innovations, assisting services like smart homes, autonomous ...

Hardware abstraction layers (HALs) are an important layer to every embedded software application. A HAL allows a developer to abstract or decouple the hardware details from the application code.

Nearly every embedded system requires some level of security, whether its just the basics to lock down the programming port or something more complex to protect a connected device from hackers. For ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

Editor's Note: Linux remains an attractive option for embedded systems developers. In fact, industry surveys such as the Embedded Market Study by UBM (EDN's parent company) consistently show interest ...
