BARR-C:2018 is fully harmonized with MISRA C:2012. Many firmware developers choose to combine bug-killing stylistic rules from the BARR-C standard with safety guidelines from MISRA C. BARR-C:2018 is ...

Embedded systems are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from medical devices to automotive systems to smart homes, yet the most popular embedded programming language poses significant safety and security ...

This installment starts a new segment of lessons about state machines. The subject conceptually continues the event-driven theme and is one of my favorites [1,2]. Today, you’ll learn what event-driven ...

Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to massive data centers or sci-fi dreams. It’s showing up in the tools, workflows, and devices embedded developers work with daily. From voice recognition ...

The world of embedded systems is a dynamic landscape filled with constant evolution. Over my two decades in this field, I've witnessed significant transformations in how we build and manage our ...

The modernization of programming languages and the importance of better coding techniques is directly related to the evolution from mechanical computers to modern software-development processes. We ...

Originally published in the November 1988 Embedded Systems Programming magazine. Correction is the final step of any debugging exercise. Sometimes bug eradication is straightforward; sometimes a bug ...

Enabling a closed-loop behavioral representation of a vehicle’s software and hardware systems for continuous validation throughout the product lifecycle. The rising intelligence and connectivity of ...

I remember doing all sorts of coding tricks when writing in assembler and the early days of C when C compilers were little more than glorified assemblers. This is when I would use an XOR A instead of ...

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.
