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 ...

The idea of unit testing has been around for many years. Test early, test often is a mantra that concerns unit testing as well. By using stubs, developers can test code under realistic and controlled ...

Taken literally, embedded test is just that: test capabilities that exist wholly embedded within a system. Power-on self-test is an example as is a built-in performance-monitoring feature programmed ...

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 ...

Medical device companies, especially those with real-time embedded-system products, are often burdened with lengthy verification cycles. Even small development efforts can result in months of ...

Electronic control units (ECUs) are vital embedded systems in vehicles; as such they impact numerous functions in a car and therefore must undergo rigorous testing. In any test workflow, ...

Video interfaces are common in all types of embedded platforms, from single board computers to IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) devices. Production testing the interface's complete path from the ...

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 ...

I recently took an extended briefing in the form of attending a regional developers' conference in I-495 tech corridor Massachusetts on embedded development and deployment strategies. The host, Wind ...

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.
