Software models can help developers understand, clarify, and communicate ideas about their code and the user requirements it must support. But I’ve learned through experience, surveying, and ...

Enabling a closed-loop behavioral representation of a vehicle’s software and hardware systems for continuous validation throughout the product lifecycle. The rising intelligence and connectivity of ...

Use of modeling software can help improve process understanding, and can be used in open- or closed-loop control. Process modeling is becoming established as a method to design and optimize ...

A European consortium has created a new embedded system modelling framework that lets designers strike the best balance between static, reconfigurable and analogue hardware and the software that runs ...

In my earlier post, How to define your ideal embedded build system, we discussed build systems and how important it is to define your modern embedded build system. A build system forms the foundation ...

Component-based software helps you get a system working quickly, keep costs down, and reuse the most robust software from prior applications. This article presents methods for creating your own ...

Most embedded architects think of AI as a coding shortcut. But the real power isn’t in cranking out boilerplate code, it’s in transforming how we design systems. Imagine capturing key decisions in ...

What are the main issues behind the “painful” process of embedded-systems design? Shortages of resources, components, and talent plague the design process. How the instability of toolsets and driver ...

The Mirai botnet attack that enslaved poorly secured connected embedded devices is yet another tangible example of the importance of security before bringing your embedded devices online. A new strain ...
