In the world of embedded systems, it isn’t just the technology that continues to develop and evolve. The tools and the methods used to develop that technology are maturing and improving in tandem. In ...

The growing complexity of embedded software development requires a new unified, test-driven approach, one that adopts early developer testing practices and implements automated software verification ...

Today’s complexity of embedded systems is steadily increasing. The growing number of components in a system and the increased communication and synchronization of all components requires reliable ...

Major industries such as electric vehicles (EVs), Internet of Things (IoT), aeronautics, and railways have strict, well-established processes to ensure they can maintain high safety standards ...

Testing, alone, cannot find all potential failure points for real-time embedded software, particularly in multithreading environments. In part 2 of Sean Beatty's article on errors that escape ...

One interesting fact that I’ve noticed about embedded software development is that development processes and techniques tend to lag the general software industry. When I first started to write ...

Medical device companies, especially those with real-time embedded-system products, are often burdened with lengthy verification cycles. Even small development efforts can result in months of ...

PX5, a global leader in high-performance real-time operating systems (RTOS) and middleware, today announced off-the-shelf functional safety certification of the PX5 NET embedded TCP/IP stack. This ...

A new software tool simulates the spots on a circuit board where processors and components are likely to fall off or become dislodged from vibrations that automobiles, airplanes, or satellite systems ...
