When I first started to develop embedded software more than 15 years ago, embedded software engineers had a very specific skillset. They were often electrical engineers who not only understood how the ...

DigiKey and Microchip are hosting a one-hour free virtual event, covering embedded system design across software and hardware ...

In previous articles, we looked at how to configure the kernel as well as the key components of an embedded operating system (OS). This new article focuses on the hardware components of embedded Linux ...

DigiKey and Microchip will host a free one-hour webinar on April 30, 2026, at 10 a.m. CDT covering two approaches to programming embedded systems: CircuitPython and Verilog. Register here. The session ...

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 ...

The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.

There once was a time when system design was completely serial. Entire hardware platforms were designed, prototyped, debugged, and virtually completed before any software development began. Of course, ...

This online engineering specialization will help you gain proficiency in creating prototypes or products for a variety of applications using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). You will cover a ...

The problem with today's existing methodologies is that verification issubservient to design. This principle requires a shift in paradigm,especially in designing complex electronic systems. Why?

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...

Software engineers have a bad habit of being very optimistic. This optimism often doesn’t just include their calculation on how long it will take for a specific task to be completed but also on ...

DigiKey and Microchip are hosting a free webinar on embedded systems and software vs. hardware logic on April 30 at 10 a.m.
