The next step in the system level of the design described in Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 of this series is to map out the communications between the various tasks and peripherals in the system.

The next area of information to extract from the requirements document relates to communication pathways, both within the system and between the system and any external systems—specifically, ...

Reliable programs need to be tested and checked before problems occur. Static and dynamic analysis should be in every embedded developer's toolbox. Many developers employ code coverage tools but ...

Deep learning techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) have significantly increased the accuracy—and therefore the adoption rate—of embedded vision for embedded systems. Starting with ...

For each embedded product, software developers need to consider whether they need an operating system; and if so, what type of an OS. Operating systems vary considerably, from real-time operating ...

The DPAC-3000 from ADLINK Technology Inc. is a compact embedded controller for the machine automation industry that offers a distributed control solution for digital and analog I/O and motion control.
