In any system design, there are always trade-offs that need to be made. Unfortunately, there is rarely a time when you can get your cake and eat it, too! Modern embedded systems have exceptionally ...

Heterogeneous multiprocessor (HMP) systems, using functionally asymmetric compute elements, such as application processors and microcontrollers integrated within the same SoCs, are now used ...

An elegant solution to many embedded software systems problems is leveraging data-centric software design. Data is at the heart of every embedded system. First, data is acquired through sampling ...

We've seen in the previous articles how Ada can be used to describe high-level semantics and architecture. The beauty of the language, however, is that it can be used all the way down to the lowest ...

DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION contributed article, which begins on Page 2. Cost is king in many embedded-system designs. To reduce costs, designers will typically call ...

This course will give you the foundation for FPGA design in Embedded Systems. You will learn what an FPGA is and how this technology was developed, how to select the best FPGA architecture for a given ...

The next area of information to extract from the requirements document relates to communication pathways, both within the system and between the system and any external systems—specifically, ...

The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.

ECEN 5613 is a 3 credit hour course and is the first course in CU's Professional Certificate in Embedded Systems. It is one of the Embedded Systems Engineering program core courses and provides an ...

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 ...

For many years, the 8-bit microcontroller has been the workhorse of embedded systems. Design teams favor the size and power benefits that a tightly coupled processor, such as the 8051 microcontroller, ...
