The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.

In previous articles, we looked at how to configure the kernel as well as the key components of an embedded operating system (OS). This new article focuses on the hardware components of embedded Linux ...

All electronic systems carry the possibility of failure. An embedded system has intrinsic intelligence that facilitates the possibility of predicting failure and mitigating its effects. This two-part ...

I know it sounds like an arrogant statement. Maybe even some fighting words. Take a moment to think about that statement, though. It's a blessing in disguise! When a hardware mistake is made, ...

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 ...

ECEN 5613 is a 3 credit hour course and is the first course in CU's Professional Certificate in Embedded Systems. It is one of the Embedded Systems Engineering program core courses and provides an ...

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 ...

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 ...

Luos, a participant in the TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield competition this week, wants to make it easy for embedded hardware developers to connect to any hardware component, such as a motor or ...
