Embedded system developers have a wide range of operating systems available to them today. Of course, the most straightforward operating system is to have no operating system! However, many systems ...

This engineering specialization provides students with the fundamentals of embedded operating systems including a working understanding of how to configure and deploy a Linux based Embedded System.

Real-time scheduling algorithms determine the order and timing with which tasks execute in embedded systems subject to stringent timing constraints. These algorithms seek to guarantee that critical ...

Open-source or commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) operating systems? In an era of safety-critical embedded systems, the debate among developers is shifting. Embedded systems are the invisible backbone of ...

The burgeoning workloads of embedded systems development teams means reuse of software code, hardware and hardware IP is increasingly the norm, and the use of development boards in embedded design is ...

Both were tasks accomplished by robots thanks to students in Northwestern Engineering's Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) program. The projects were the culmination of Embedded Systems in Robotics, ...

The annual Embedded World conference brings together thousands of vendors and customers to see and discuss the latest developments in the embedded electronics supply chain. Embedded World is a global ...

At the start of the year, I highlighted key trends in 5 Embedded Software Trends to Watch in 2024, predicting the forces shaping the industry. As the year unfolded, many of these trends indeed drove ...

Virtualization technology, whereby multiple operating systems can be run on shared hardware, is extremely well understood if somewhat inefficient in its use of resources. Just a few decades ago, ...
