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 ...

Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

Embedded systems are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from medical devices to automotive systems to smart homes, yet the most popular embedded programming language poses significant safety and security ...

This lesson starts a new segment about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) — an important set of concepts critical to understanding any modern software, not just modern embedded software. As usual in ...

Learn about the importance of testing not only the hardware and software inside automotive and other safety-critical applications, but also the software tools used to program them in the first place.

Integrating processors, sensors, and data exchange functionality into everyday objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) pushes computing capabilities far beyond desktops and servers, weaving computation ...

The embedded systems industry is constantly evolving. In my 20 years in the industry, embedded devices have gone from resource-constrained monolithic designs running on 8-bit microcontrollers to today ...
