With multicore embedded systems becoming so common, this article outlines some of the basics, reviewing the possible hardware architectures. Broadly, there are two options: Asymmetric Multi-Processing ...

As an engineer there are few things that are as exciting as developing a new embedded system. With each passing year, not only are systems becoming more complex and offering more features but the ...

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 ...

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...

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 ...

Trying to understand every detail involved in creating an embedded product that communicates via Internet protocols can be a daunting task. These protocols were created for systems that generally have ...

Arithmetic logic unit (ALU), which performs computation. Registers needed for the basic operation of the CPU, such as the program counter (PC), stack pointer (SP), and status register (SR). Further ...

This is the second of three courses in the Embedded Interface Design (EID) specialization, the online version of the EID class offered on campus at CU Boulder. This course is an introduction to rapid ...

In the previous blog post, “Securing Offload Engines for a Robust Secure SoC System,” we briefly looked at some of the methods employed for achieving embedded security, i.e., cryptography, hardware ...
