Embedded system developers have a wide range of operating systems available to them today. Of course, the most straightforward operating system is to have no operating system! However, many systems ...

After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

In the world of embedded systems, the language debate is alive and well. For years, C has dominated this space, its minimalistic design and low-level control giving embedded engineers the tools to ...

In any system design, there are always trade-offs that need to be made. Unfortunately, there is rarely a time when you can get your cake and eat it, too! Modern embedded systems have exceptionally ...

The Embedded Systems Engineering (ESE) subplan in our Professional Master's Program provides comprehensive coverage of essential embedded technologies, current tools and trends. It is structured to ...

This course provides an overview of System Programming for the Linux operating system, or software which is interfacing directly with the Linux Kernel and C library. The basic components of a Linux ...

The term “embedded Linux” belongs to the category of distributions used in embedded systems, i.e., specialized electronic devices, which are part of a larger system to be controlled, designed for a ...

The embedded systems market is experiencing remarkable growth, reflecting its vital role in modern technology. As of 2023, the global embedded systems market is valued at approximately $93.4 billion.

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 ...

Digital systems are complex hardware circuits that are generally designed at a level of abstraction that is a step removed from circuit/transistor/device-level ...
