In contrast, a hardware interrupt can occur at any machine instruction, meaning an ISR can be activated at any point in the code. Such implicit activation is not synchronized with the main code, and ...

A kit supplied by Amulet Technologies reduces graphical user interface development time and simplifies testing.

From our study of C++, it should be clear that, unlike class encapsulation and single inheritance, which were essentially free in C, polymorphism in C involves some complexity and overhead. In the ...

In this second lesson on RTOS you will see how to automate the context switch process. Specifically, in this lesson, you will start building your own minimal RTOS that will implement the manual ...

As we continue the series on Embedded Systems Programming, this article will present the 2nd part, which is about the hardware or the peripheral circuitry required to run a microprocessor. It ...

What is the best language in which to code your next project? If you are an embedded-system designer, that question has always been a bit silly. You will use, C—or if you are trying to impress ...

One of the biggest dreams anyone has is to make a living doing what they love. For all hackers, makers, and DIYers with a passion for embedded systems, it may make sense initially to pursue embedded ...

Selecting a programming language for an embedded application used to be easy. Developers simply went with C or if they were a bit adventurous, they might choose C++ and invoke a heated debate amongst ...

Before we plunge into the fray with gusto and abandon (and aplomb, of course), I should remind you that I’m a hardware design engineer by trade. I can write software, but I’ve never captured any code ...

1. In a big company, doing ASIC design verification for a WCDMA modem for 3G cellular chips. 2. Small company, doing Embedded Software Programming. Working on the design and implementation of layer 1 ...
