In this lesson, you will learn the main concepts behind event-driven programming, which, after object-oriented programming, is another fundamental stepping stone in understanding modern embedded ...

“Normal” programmers can get away with the assumption that their C programs start executing from the main() function. But embedded developers need to know what happens before that. Lesson 13 explores ...

The Ada programming language was born in the mid-1970s, when the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the UK’s Ministry Of Defence sought to replace the hundreds of specialized programming languages ...

Mention embedded programming and most will automatically think of C. But while it’s still the dominant language for the space, these days C has lots of company. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of ...

The last part of the Embedded Systems programming discuss about interrupt processing and the alternative process of polling. It briefly describes interrupts and polling, as well as the interrupt ...

If you’re an embedded programmer and not familiar with programming in the large, it might be time to become acquainted. That’s because more often than not, projects include a number of developers ...

A European research team has achieved the twin, and apparently contradictory goals, of making embedded systems both smarter and tougher. The RobuCab, an autonomous vehicle about the size of a golf ...

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 ...

When you think about bare-metal programming, you probably envision an electrical engineer sitting at a workbench, pouring through hundreds of pages of low-level register definitions. Once the correct ...

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 ...
