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 the world of embedded systems, the language debate is alive and well. For years, C has dominated this space, its minimalistic design and low-level control giving embedded engineers the tools to ...

Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

Embedded systems have changed a lot in the last 15 years. But until recently a basic building block – the C language – has not kept up. It’s time to start paying more attention to the newest C11 ...

Dennis Ritchie started developing the C programming language (Fig. 1) in 1969 at AT&T’s Bell Labs. In 1972, Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan delivered the quintessential book, The C Programming ...

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 ...

On its own, the software development process has numerous hazards and obstacles that require navigation in order to successfully launch a product. The last thing that any engineer wants is challenges ...

We are working on an RFID-based bus-announcement system. We use Embedded C to perform operations, but we don’t how to incorporate the language extensions into an RFID reader. Can you please provide ...

Part 2 discusses the process of integrating Embedded MATLAB code into Simulink models as part of a Model-Based Design workflow. Many embedded developers are familiar with the idea-to-implementation ...

C (, as in the letter c) is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language. It supports structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents ...
