A fundamental skill that embedded software developers need to master is understanding how to write drivers. Within an embedded system, there a typically two types of drivers: microcontroller ...

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 ...

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 ...

Writing an effective driver time-out for an embedded system can be tricky. It’s tempting to assume that everything will work as expected, but that’s typically only the case in the lab. While ...

Embedded systems have become a cornerstone of modern technology, powering everything from IoT devices to automotive control systems. These specialized systems rely on software that is lightweight, ...

In this application note, the block access media driver for Application Programming Interface (API) is being discussed. It presents the organization and design of the media driver, the API, its API ...

Electronic products that use a microcontroller have become so complex today that they commonly use a real-time operating system (RTOS). An RTOS can manage low-level resources and time, improving the ...

Embedded system licensing is the combination of hardware and software into a single offering, converting traditional hardware vendors into innovative software vendors. This enables manufacturers of ...
