Embedded systems have always been about squeezing every ounce of performance from limited hardware. From hand-optimized assembly to finely tuned C, we’ve spent years writing efficient code, minimizing ...

Application size and complexity has compounded significantly over the last decade. Take the automotive sector as an example. According to The New York Times, 20 years ago, the average car had a ...

Despite the hopes and dreams of many embedded engineers, reliable code doesn’t happen by accident. It is a painstaking process that requires developers to maintain and manage every bit and byte of the ...

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 ...

Code coverage measures execution, not verification. Learn why your metrics may be misleading and how to fix your testing ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Three Purdue University researchers and their teammates at the University of California, Santa Barbara and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have received a ...

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 ...

Whilethis approach may seem heavy-handed, it can be acceptable because theamount of critical code requiring MC/DC level testing is oftenrelatively small. A lack of complete test coverage almost always ...

Doxygen can be an amazing tool for disciplined embedded software developers seeking to quickly generate a software manual that stays in sync with their code. It scans your code, parses out developer ...

CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microchip Technology (MCHP) is leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist software developers and embedded engineers in writing ...

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...
