An operating system (OS) is an optional part of an embedded device’s system software stack, meaning that not all embedded systems have one. OSs can be used on any processor (Instruction Set ...

Embedded software and electronics represent an increasing percentage of the engineering content of an automobile. By 2010, electronics are expected to comprise 40 percent of automotive material costs, ...

What is Model checking? Model checking has proven to be a successful technology to verify requirements and design for a variety of real-time embedded and safety-critical systems. Here’s how it works.

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...

Process engineers and integrators can use virtual process modeling to test alternative process schemes and architectures without relying on wafer-based testing. One important aspect of building an ...

Semiconductor process engineers would love to develop successful process recipes without the guesswork of repeated wafer testing. Unfortunately, developing a successful process can’t be done without ...

MITRE, in collaboration with researchers from three other organizations, this week released a draft of a new threat-modeling framework for makers of embedded devices used in critical infrastructure ...
