Automatic-code-generation software produces optimized, error-free source code from a graphical model of the system. Wide acceptance of UML promises to standardize software architectural descriptions ...

DigiKey and Microchip are hosting a free webinar on embedded systems and software vs. hardware logic on April 30 at 10 a.m.

Three Purdue University researchers and their teammates at the University of California, Santa Barbara and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have received a DARPA (Defense Advanced ...

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 ...

Microcontroller debuggers and associated tools are essential for developers working on embedded systems. They help developers find and fix bugs, test code and optimize performance. Advanced debugging ...

Today, the world is “closer,” smarter, and more connected thanks to an increasingly deeper presence of the IoT. IAR Systems knows this, as it states that “connected technology” can improve life on a ...

Security issues go beyond buffer overflows. How standards help with commonly exploited weaknesses. Improving code quality and safety with code-analysis tools. On the other hand, as Code Red caused ...

Code coverage is one of the most widely used quality metrics in embedded software development. Nearly every team I start working with tells me they aim to reach 80%+ code coverage. In fact, many ...

Real-time embedded systems are typically constrained in terms of three system performance criteria: space, time, and energy. The performance requirements are directly translated into constraints ...

DigiKey and Microchip are hosting a one-hour free virtual event, covering embedded system design across software and hardware ...
