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 ...

Editor's Note: Embedded Systems Architecture, 2nd Edition, is a practical and technical guide to understanding the components that make up an embedded system’s architecture. Offering detailed ...

The last two articles have explored the five steps to designing an embedded software architecture. So far, we have seen a need in modern embedded systems to separate software architecture into ...

Analytics-driven embedded systems bring analytics to embedded applications, moving many of the functions found in cloud-based, big-data analytics to the source of data. This allows for more efficient ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...

Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to massive data centers or sci-fi dreams. It’s showing up in the tools, workflows, and devices embedded developers work with daily. From voice recognition ...

Because the operating system controls the resources (e.g., memory, CPU) of the embedded system, it has the power to prevent unauthorized use of these resources. Conversely, if the operating system ...
