The trend toward multi-core devices is well underway in PCs, but in embedded systems, there's more focus on augmenting single-core devices with an array of peripherals. As geometries shrink, the cost ...

For many years, the 8-bit microcontroller has been the workhorse of embedded systems. Design teams favor the size and power benefits that a tightly coupled processor, such as the 8051 microcontroller, ...

The microcontroller’s basics, structure, operation, and software were already been covered in the previous parts of the series. Now, the 4th part of Embedded Systems Programming series, will discuss ...

Teams developing firmware and embedded software often develop their software on-target. While there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with using a development board to understand the processor, ...

Multi-processor architectures are becoming prevalent in today’s embedded systems to keep up with growing computational requirements, throughput and integrated system features. As an example, high-end ...

Designers can incorporate an array of peripherals into asics and platform systems-on-a-chip. but custom designs have very high upfront costs, making them practical only when chip production runs are ...

When you think of an embedded systems class, what do you expect the students to learn? Should they know about single board computers, like the Raspberry Pi or the Beaglebone? Should they know about ...

The 8-bit microcontroller remains a vital component in embedded design due to its power efficiency, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. When equipped with advanced CIPs and intelligent analog ...

At the Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley 2007, the Santa Clara, Calif., chip giant announced the availability of the Quad Core Xeon E5335 and E5345 processors, based on the Xeon 5300 Series, ...

ECEN 5613 is a 3 credit hour course and is the first course in CU's Professional Certificate in Embedded Systems. It is one of the Embedded Systems Engineering program core courses and provides an ...
