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 ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

Analytics-driven embedded systems bring analytics to embedded applications, moving many of the functions found in cloud-based, big-data analytics to the source of data. This allows for more efficient ...

Makefiles are a fundamental tool that every embedded software developer needs to understand. Even if you use an Eclipse-based IDE, behind the scenes, a makefile is generated to build your objects ...

Every developer wants to develop robust systems. No one wants to point to a product that behaves poorly and say, “I built that.” Many factors come into play when designing and implementing a robust ...

How can you cover all the bases for embedded systems security? This step-by-step guide takes you through best practices. Embedded systems security is an essential concern in the modern landscape.
