Is generative AI the catalyst for redefining modern engineering? Are we prepared for a world where intelligent tools shape ...

The tools that we use as developers can make a dramatic difference in the speed, quality, and overall cost of the software we develop. Here are five tools that I’ve found to be very helpful. Some of ...

Choosing embedded software tools, such as assemblers, compilers, and linkers, can be quite daunting. Sometimes the decision is made for you; for instance, when there's only one tool-chain available, ...

As system complexities rise and management and market pressures drive tight schedules, engineers find that meeting schedules and budgets are constantly top concerns. The innate, driving, subconscious ...

Computer engineering encompasses a wide range of topics surrounding this interaction between hardware and software. Computer engineers of the future will be versatile full-stack developers, ...

Commercially available vs. free dev tools. What is "schedule slipping"? What types of tools are best when it's time to debug. The presumption is that using commercial tools will make the development ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics are quickly becoming key technologies in the embedded systems field. AI and Machine Learning (ML) enable devices to learn and adapt to their environments, ...

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 ...

When I first started to develop embedded software more than 15 years ago, embedded software engineers had a very specific skillset. They were often electrical engineers who not only understood how the ...

Embedded software, once a challenge to write, update, and optimize, is following the route of other types of software. It is abstracted, simpler to use, and much faster to write. But in some cases, it ...
