This lesson starts a new segment about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) — an important set of concepts critical to understanding any modern software, not just modern embedded software. As usual in ...

Mention embedded programming and most will automatically think of C. But while it’s still the dominant language for the space, these days C has lots of company. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of ...

In order to understand a field as broad as embedded systems, one must conquer the basics. With the way some courses at the university level are setup, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and ...

Hardware abstraction layers (HALs) are an important layer to every embedded software application. A HAL allows a developer to abstract or decouple the hardware details from the application code.

Efficient coding has been an important subject for years especially for resource constrained systems running real-time applications. Most people take compiler optimizations for granted and do not ...

An Inter-IC bus is often used to communicate across circuit-board distances. Here’s a primer on the protocol. At the low end of the spectrum of communication options for “inside the box” communication ...

I've always been a fan of pot pie. Why have a chicken breast, a side of mixed vegetables, and pie for dessert when you can just cram them all into one neat little package? Besides, if I eat pot pie ...

So I've been reading a copy of "Programming Embedded Systems in C and C++" that I found here in the drawer at work along with my copy of "Introduction to Electronic Defense Systems" and am seriously ...

When you think about bare-metal programming, you probably envision an electrical engineer sitting at a workbench, pouring through hundreds of pages of low-level register definitions. Once the correct ...
