This paper will discuss design practices and guidelines that will maximize the efficiency of interrupts and interrupt handling in an embedded system IC. These practices can result in a smaller code ...

The success of Linux as a desktop operating system, and the appeal of its open source technology, might provoke one to dream of applying it to embedded systems. After all, embedded systems run on the ...

The proper use of an embedded MCU's low-power/sleep modes is critical to a design's success. In today's world of battery-operated devices, the proper use of the low-power/sleep modes provided in most ...

Different tasks in an embedded system typically must share the same hardware and software resources or may rely on each other in order to function correctly. For these reasons, embedded OSs provide ...

Potentially substantial performance gains from the use of multithreading and multiprocessing architectures have captured the attention of designers of consumer devices and other electronic products.

A new breed of micropro-cessor based on very long instruction word (VLIW) technology is well suited for embedded systems. This is due to the fact that VLIW architectural simplicity is achieved at the ...

You stare at the log output. It seems okay, and yet the bug is still hiding. Was Task A missing its deadline? You don’t know. Was a priority inversion quietly breaking the scheduler? Again, you don’t ...
