Software models can help developers understand, clarify, and communicate ideas about their code and the user requirements it must support. But I’ve learned through experience, surveying, and ...

Embedded software designs such as those for avionics and automotive systems have become highly complex to develop, test and certify. As a result, the traditional document driven environments, without ...

Whendelving into the simulation-oriented models as applied to a typicalembedded control application, it’s interesting to note key touch pointsin a particular implementation. These points often serve ...

One of the most difficult challenges in SoC verification today is determining how to make sure the hardware and software work together at the SoC level. The commonly deployed process is to verify the ...

A European consortium has created a new embedded system modelling framework that lets designers strike the best balance between static, reconfigurable and analogue hardware and the software that runs ...

An operating system (OS) is an optional part of an embedded device’s system software stack, meaning that not all embedded systems have one. OSs can be used on any processor (Instruction Set ...

In my earlier post, How to define your ideal embedded build system, we discussed build systems and how important it is to define your modern embedded build system. A build system forms the foundation ...

Use of modeling software can help improve process understanding, and can be used in open- or closed-loop control. Process modeling is becoming established as a method to design and optimize ...

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 ...
