I have already mentioned the biggest difference between writing a program for a desktop computer and for a small microcontroller: the absence of an operating system (in most cases). The impact of this ...

As we continue the series on Embedded Systems Programming, this article will present the 2nd part, which is about the hardware or the peripheral circuitry required to run a microprocessor. It ...

The very first step in starting an embedded Linux system does not involve Linux at all. Instead, the processor is reset and starts executing code from a given location. This location contains a ...

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.

This course is used as the capstone in a three course sequence, including Linux System Programming and Introduction to Buildroot and Linux Kernel Programming and Introduction to Yocto Project. Both of ...

Here's another book, aimed at professionals, that covers designing embedded systems. Specifically, it's an introduction to the design of FPGAs and is aimed at “engineers in the trenches”, presenting ...

This course is an introduction to usability and user experience (UX) design methods that can be applied to embedded devices and systems. UX methods are presented for user analysis, planning, research, ...

Embedded DisplayPort 1.5 (eDP 1.5) is an interface standard that is based on the DP 2.0 (DP standard), and it is designed to transport video between the system host, i.e., GPU, and device, i.e., ...

For those embedded systems that can’t be constantly watched by a human, watchdog timers may be the solution. Most embedded systems need to be self-reliant. It’s not usually possible to wait for ...

When tasks share resources, as they often do, strange things can and will happen. Priority inversions in embedded systems can be particularly difficult to anticipate. Here’s an introduction to ...
