In most embedded networking and communications designs, the primary operations the main processor must provide involve conversion and forwarding of serial traffic (streams, cells, or packets) from one ...

Processor architects and system designers gathered this week in San Jose at the In-Stat/MDR Embedded Processor Forum (EPF) to discuss the latest architectures for applications such as digital-video ...

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 ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...
