Embedded systems operate under increasingly dynamic conditions. They must support unpredictable interaction with users or with the environment. And they should work with widely varying input data, ...

It’s easy to forget that embedded Linux can’t do everything for all embedded developers. While it is suitable for some applications with many megabytes of memory and powerful processors, there are a ...

Back when I was deep into building embedded control systems (and snow was always 20 feet deep and going to and from school was up hill both ways), the use of dynamic memory allocation was forbidden.

Despite the hopes and dreams of many embedded engineers, reliable code doesn’t happen by accident. It is a painstaking process that requires developers to maintain and manage every bit and byte of the ...

The Multidisciplinary Engineered Dynamic Systems research group focuses on collaborative research at the interface of engineering disciplines including dynamics, vibration, acoustics, signal ...

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.

I recently presented arguments for and against using dynamic memory allocation in C and C++ programs. 1 I do agree that truly safety-critical systems should avoid using dynamic allocation because the ...
