Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

We've seen in the previous articles how Ada can be used to describe high-level semantics and architecture. The beauty of the language, however, is that it can be used all the way down to the lowest ...

If there is one thing in software engineering that is a given, it’s that engineers need continuous education. While graduating college might have made us think that we were “done,” the truth is that ...

This is but a simple request for those of you who work with embedded systems and software to point me in the right direction of some good learning material. There's a huge gap in my knowledge base WRT ...

Prior knowledge needed: Experience with technical writing, foundational knowledge and experience in embedded systems architecture, C programming, knowledge of digital logic analyzers and protocol ...

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system project managing real-time constraints while analyzing the system in-order to meet them. Students are expected to ...

Embedded systems are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from medical devices to automotive systems to smart homes, yet the most popular embedded programming language poses significant safety and security ...

As we turn the page to 2025, it’s impossible not to reflect on the transformative trends of 2024. From the growing influence of AI to the rise of modern languages like Rust and the increasing focus on ...

If you have ever looked at C as a programming language then you have probably seen or read, like I did, “The C Programming Language” by Brian Kernighan (Fig. 1) and Dennis Ritchie. It probably did ...

Embedded systems have become a cornerstone of modern technology, powering everything from IoT devices to automotive control systems. These specialized systems rely on software that is lightweight, ...
