With the proliferation of IoT devices come increased embedded security attacks. Historically, embedded system engineers have ignored device-layer security despite the many areas of embedded devices ...

Two companies have joined forces to optimize quality, integrity, post-programming validation, and cost for embedded test of reprogrammable logic cores. The increasing complexity of system-on-a-chip ...

As process technologies continue to shrink and memory size and design complexity grow, it has become increasingly difficult to achieve high manufacturing yield. Embedded memories are the most dense ...

Imperas Software has announced that Razorcat Developments, a provider of software testing tools for the embedded systems market, has integrated the Imperas fast processor reference models into the ...

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...

Applications such as smart cards and devices used in the defense industry require security features to ensure that sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a niche requirement ...

When it comes to embedded engineering, toolchains are the worst. Getting a new toolchain up and running correctly is often hard, and often prone to breaking when the IDE or other software is upgraded.

The idea of unit testing has been around for many years. "Test early, test often" is a mantra that concerns unit testing as well. However, in practice, not many software projects have the luxury of ...

If there is one thing in software engineering that is a given, it’s that engineers need continuous education. While graduating college might have made us think that we were “done,” the truth is that ...

When embedded engineers hear "simulation," they immediately think QEMU, Renode, or some vendor-specific tool that lets them run firmware on a virtual microcontroller. These tools are excellent, and ...
