Embedded-system designers are once again emerging from their cubicles and laboratories to saunter up and down the aisles of the Silicon Valley version of the Embedded Systems Conference in search of ...

As discussed in the first article of this two-part series, there are different challenges involved in designing and optimizing thermistor-based application solutions. These are sensor selection and ...

DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION contributed article, which begins on Page 2. Cost is king in many embedded-system designs. To reduce costs, designers will typically call ...

The previous articles of this series have discussed the innovation and evolution of the integrated-circuit industry and how system-in-package (SiP) devices fit into the market. In the first article, ...

One of the last things the Linux kernel does during system boot is mount the root filesystem. The Linux kernel dictates no filesystem structure, but user space applications expect to find files with ...

This online engineering specialization will help you gain proficiency in creating prototypes or products for a variety of applications using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). You will cover a ...

Just as in comedy, timing is essential to the success of a microcomputer design. Often it is quite possible to get one system functioning by simply interconnecting the various compo­nents. But it is ...

This course is an introduction to usability and user experience (UX) design methods that can be applied to embedded devices and systems. UX methods are presented for user analysis, planning, research, ...

An interactive engineering symposium designed to enhance the design of embedded systems will be held on the Rochester Institute of Technology campus next month. The third annual Freescale Symposium, ...

The C/C++ programming languages have long dominated the embedded systems industry, with very few other languages being able to find a foothold. While languages such as Java and Ada have certainly ...

Computer engineering is a broad field that sits in between the hardware of electrical engineering and the software of computer science. When computer engineers design hardware, they focus on what the ...
