The complexity associated with the development of embedded systems is increasing rapidly. For instance, it is estimated that the average complexity of software projects in the automotive industry has ...

Taken literally, embedded test is just that: test capabilities that exist wholly embedded within a system. Power-on self-test is an example as is a built-in performance-monitoring feature programmed ...

Companies specializing in circuit board and system design-for-test (DFT) tools are pursuing a variety of strategies to serve test and debug applications based on innovations they announced over the ...

Time and time again, there is one activity that always cannibalizes an embedded software project's financial and delivery budget: debugging. The average embedded software developer spends 20 – 40% of ...

The tips and tricks when testing motor-driver ICs on the lab bench can help engineers reduce time spent on evaluating and prototyping motor systems. The first installment of this two-part article ...

The appeal of embedded systems is clear. A high degree of configurability, readily available commercial intellectual property (IP), and the use of well-understood and accepted protocols and bus ...
