Software models can help developers understand, clarify, and communicate ideas about their code and the user requirements it must support. But I’ve learned through experience, surveying, and ...

VaST Systems Technology has announced a new embedded software development environment, METeor. The company claims it is the first in the world to support the software development process required to ...

One of the most difficult challenges in SoC verification today is determining how to make sure the hardware and software work together at the SoC level. The commonly deployed process is to verify the ...

In my earlier post, How to define your ideal embedded build system, we discussed build systems and how important it is to define your modern embedded build system. A build system forms the foundation ...

Use of modeling software can help improve process understanding, and can be used in open- or closed-loop control. Process modeling is becoming established as a method to design and optimize ...

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 ...

When I first started to develop embedded software more than 15 years ago, embedded software engineers had a very specific skillset. They were often electrical engineers who not only understood how the ...

What are the main issues behind the “painful” process of embedded-systems design? Shortages of resources, components, and talent plague the design process. How the instability of toolsets and driver ...

Version control – increasingly a de facto part of the embedded software development process – has changed a lot in the past few years. This has major implications for any organisation reviewing its ...
