Real-time and embedded systems operate in constrained environments in which memory and processing power are limited. They must provide their services within strict time deadlines to their users and to ...

During the next few years, the technology needed to meet NextGen requirements will be added to aircraft cockpits already bristling with advanced systems. As it is doing now for many safety-critical ...

Discuss embedded automotive standards, and OSEK/VDX pops up. So, it's no surprise Accelerated Technology's new royalty-free Nucleus OSEK Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) meets the latest OSEK 2.2 ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

Most of the computers we interact with on a day-to-day basis use an operating system designed for flexibility. While these are great tools for getting work done or scrolling your favorite sites, they ...

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system project managing real-time constraints while analyzing the system in-order to meet them. Students are expected to ...

When I first started writing embedded software, the environments that I found to be the most efficient and easiest to use were only available on Microsoft Windows. In fact, it wasn’t uncommon for ...

More good stuff coming out of AMD this week. The chip company has just announced that embedded software provider Express Logic has brought its industry-leading ThreadX real-time operating system (RTOS ...

It’s easy to forget that embedded Linux can’t do everything for all embedded developers. While it is suitable for some applications with many megabytes of memory and powerful processors, there are a ...

You can find real-time operating systems (RTOS) everywhere. They are as ubiquitous as their more familiar operating-system cousins – Windows, Mac OS and Unix – that control software applications and ...
