After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

Real-time systems and embedded computing have become foundational to modern engineering, underpinning applications from industrial automation and automotive control to aerospace and telecommunications ...

At the intersection of hardware and software architecture, embedded systems are integral in applications including smart devices, wearables, autonomous systems, security and defense technologies, ...

The actual definition of real-time database versus the abused interpretation used by marketers of real fast database systems. The interplay of transient and persistent memory, and hard and soft ...

Embedded finance is reshaping how people interact with financial services, offering solutions integrated into everyday applications. During a panel discussion on embedded finance at the Benzinga ...

In the beginning, real-time operating systems (RTOSs) were primarily used in military, aerospace, and high-end industrial control applications. This has changed dramatically as low-cost, fast, and ...

It’s easy to forget that embedded Linux can’t do everything for all embedded developers. While it is suitable for some applications with many megabytes of memory and powerful processors, there are a ...

Embedded systems have always been about squeezing every ounce of performance from limited hardware. From hand-optimized assembly to finely tuned C, we’ve spent years writing efficient code, minimizing ...

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 ...

Consider a smart home display that uses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth mesh and local voice recognition. The embedded processor manages the wireless protocols, runs the voice model and powers the user interface.
