Embedded software and its specification is a vital component in deploying SoCs with reduced time-to-market. A key contribution to this is the technology area of embedded software architecture. This ...

Every good hardware or software design starts with a structured approach throughout the design cycle, but as chip architectures and applications begin focusing on specific domains and include some ...

The line between middleware and application software is blurred, which is why this chapter introduces both together. Middleware is software that has been abstracted out of the application layer for a ...

At the intersection of hardware and software architecture, embedded systems are integral in applications including smart devices, wearables, autonomous systems, security and defense technologies, ...

Successfully developing and launching an embedded system requires a wide range of skills in a variety of engineering disciplines. Every embedded systems development team needs knowledge in eight ...

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 ...

Want to make your application software more reusable? Don't change the hardware, operating system, or your tools. Instead change the architectural framework within which you do your design. The drive ...

In the beginning, real-time operating systems (RTOSs) were primarily used in military, aerospace, and high-end industrial control applications. This has changed dramatically as low-cost, fast, and ...

In this online engineering course, you will gain experience writing low-level firmware to directly interface hardware with highly efficient, readable, and portable design practices. By completing this ...

AMD’s Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) is a hardware framework that provides Heterogeneous Uniform Memory Access (HUMA) to CPUs and GPUs. The reason for putting it in the software category is ...
