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.

Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

From our study of C++, it should be clear that, unlike class encapsulation and single inheritance, which were essentially free in C, polymorphism in C involves some complexity and overhead. In the ...

We've seen in the previous articles how Ada can be used to describe high-level semantics and architecture. The beauty of the language, however, is that it can be used all the way down to the lowest ...

This is but a simple request for those of you who work with embedded systems and software to point me in the right direction of some good learning material. There's a huge gap in my knowledge base WRT ...

Embedded-software technology appears to lag behind new trends. That's largely because embedded developers have a cautious, conservative attitude that comes from years of experience contending with ...

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system project managing real-time constraints while analyzing the system in-order to meet them. Students are expected to ...

Embedded systems are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from medical devices to automotive systems to smart homes, yet the most popular embedded programming language poses significant safety and security ...

Prior knowledge needed: ECEA 5385 Industrial IoT Markets and Security, experience with technical writing, foundational knowledge and experience in embedded systems architecture, C programming, ...

Embedded systems have always been about squeezing every ounce of performance from limited hardware. From hand-optimized assembly to finely tuned C, we’ve spent years writing efficient code, minimizing ...
