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 ...

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 ...

How modern fuzz testing has evolved into a core assurance technique for embedded, real-time, and safety-critical software, and why it’s essential where exhaustive testing is infeasible. How fuzzing ...

With the advent of multithreaded/multicore CPUs, even embedded real-time applications are starting to run on SMP systems—for example, both the Xbox 360 and PS/3 are multithreaded, and there even have ...

As a new generation of computer-savvy users and gamers becomes your primary embedded-device customer, responsiveness and real-time performance become critical evaluation issues. Systems must manage ...

While languages such as Ada and C++ have gained some adoption in certain circles, for the most part embedded software is still dominated by the procedural and dangerous C programming language. A few ...

Embedded software, once a challenge to write, update, and optimize, is following the route of other types of software. It is abstracted, simpler to use, and much faster to write. But in some cases, it ...
