The very first step in starting an embedded Linux system does not involve Linux at all. Instead, the processor is reset and starts executing code from a given location. This location contains a ...

As we continue the series on Embedded Systems Programming, this article will present the 2nd part, which is about the hardware or the peripheral circuitry required to run a microprocessor. It ...

This course is used as the capstone in a three course sequence, including Linux System Programming and Introduction to Buildroot and Linux Kernel Programming and Introduction to Yocto Project. Both of ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

The world of embedded systems is a dynamic landscape filled with constant evolution. Over my two decades in this field, I've witnessed significant transformations in how we build and manage our ...

When tasks share resources, as they often do, strange things can and will happen. Priority inversions in embedded systems can be particularly difficult to anticipate. Here’s an introduction to ...

Counter/timer hardware is a crucial component of most embedded systems. In some cases a timer is needed to measure elapsed time; in others we want to count or time some external events. Here's a ...

At the start of the year, I highlighted key trends in 5 Embedded Software Trends to Watch in 2024, predicting the forces shaping the industry. As the year unfolded, many of these trends indeed drove ...

The microcontroller’s basics, structure, operation, and software were already been covered in the previous parts of the series. Now, the 4th part of Embedded Systems Programming series, will discuss ...
