Makefiles are a fundamental tool that every embedded software developer needs to understand. Even if you use an Eclipse-based IDE, behind the scenes, a makefile is generated to build your objects ...

Embedded Software and Hardware Architecture is a first dive into understanding embedded architectures and writing software to manipulate this hardware. You will gain experience writing low-level ...

Embedded software is no longer written in assembly language macros. In fact, the same high-level languages and tools used for writing embedded software are the same tools used for designing ...

Hardware abstraction layers (HALs) are an important layer to every embedded software application. A HAL allows a developer to abstract or decouple the hardware details from the application code.

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...

Embedded software, once a challenge to write, update, and optimize, is following the route of other types of software. It is abstracted, simpler to use, and much faster to write. But in some cases, it ...

While the global media braces everyone for a recession, it has become nearly impossible to find and hire embedded software engineers in the embedded systems field. I can’t count the number of ...

On a daily basis, we encounter a plethora of embedded systems; from laptops, to cell phones, to cameras, embedded systems enable us to interface with our electronic devices. Early systems, such as ...
