Let's not beat around the bush. Most embedded engineers believe they can't test their firmware until the hardware shows up. The board is on backorder, the bring-up team is still fighting the power ...

Communication protocols at Layers 3 (network) and 4 (transport) in the Open Systems Interconnect protocol stack have been getting help from silicon and firmware since the days of asynchronous transfer ...

Embedded systems are the foundation of today’s electronic devices, spanning sectors as diverse as consumer electronics, telecommunications, industrial, medical, automotive and aerospace applications.

While the use of complex system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs has increased, unfortunately, that hasn't increased the time-to-market window for designers and chip manufacturers. As SoC designs become more ...

How do you know that your software is working the way that it is supposed to? You test it! The real question, though, is "How do you test it?". In the old days, developers used to just manually test ...

Taken literally, embedded test is just that: test capabilities that exist wholly embedded within a system. Power-on self-test is an example as is a built-in performance-monitoring feature programmed ...
