Defining device drivers Discussing the difference between architecture-specific and board-specific drivers Providing several examples of different types of device drivers Most embedded hardware ...

Editor's Note: Embedded Systems Architecture, 2nd Edition, is a practical and technical guide to understanding the components that make up an embedded system’s architecture. Offering detailed ...

Real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux each bring their own advantages for embedded-systems designers. With an RTOS, designers can build deterministic multi-threaded applications with low memory ...

With multicore embedded systems becoming so common, this article outlines some of the basics, reviewing the possible hardware architectures. Broadly, there are two options: Asymmetric Multi-Processing ...

B# (pronounced “be sharp”) is a tiny, object-oriented, andmulti-threaded programming language that is specially dedicated forsmall footprint embedded systems. Because B# has its roots in the C family ...

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 ...

According to IEEE 1471, “A software architecture is the fundamental organization of a system embodied in its components, their relationship to each other and the environment, and the principles ...
