How can you cover all the bases for embedded systems security? This step-by-step guide takes you through best practices. Embedded systems security is an essential concern in the modern landscape.

Powerful high-level software tools give domain experts in such diverse fields as aerospace engineering, medical electronics, mechatronics, and even graphics design increasing control over the ...

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 ...

These GUIs also provide a schematic approach to circuit design. The circuit can be designed by dragging and dropping components from a component list onto the schematic. After this, they can be ...

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.

Usable product life is a critical factor in the success of any portable device, and managing power efficiency is a key requirement for embedded systems today. Historically, power management was seen ...

For many years, the 8-bit microcontroller has been the workhorse of embedded systems. Design teams favor the size and power benefits that a tightly coupled processor, such as the 8051 microcontroller, ...
