Real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux each bring their own advantages for embedded-systems designers. With an RTOS, designers can build deterministic multi-threaded applications with low memory ...

Editor's Note: Embedded Systems Architecture, 2nd Edition, is a practical and technical guide to understanding the components that make up an embedded system’s architecture. Offering detailed ...

The last two articles have explored the five steps to designing an embedded software architecture. So far, we have seen a need in modern embedded systems to separate software architecture into ...

I first met John Lombardo at the Embedded Internet Conference in August 2000. John told me he was working on a book about embedded Linux, which would be published within a year. In contrast to the ...

Defining device drivers Discussing the difference between architecture-specific and board-specific drivers Providing several examples of different types of device drivers Most embedded hardware ...

We’ve explored each element in detail except for secure storage in the previous posts. Today’s post will dive deeper into secure storage and how it applies to embedded systems. Secure storage is often ...

According to IEEE 1471, “A software architecture is the fundamental organization of a system embodied in its components, their relationship to each other and the environment, and the principles ...
