After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

In the beginning, real-time operating systems (RTOSs) were primarily used in military, aerospace, and high-end industrial control applications. This has changed dramatically as low-cost, fast, and ...

With the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and NIS-2, the pressure to make control systems ever more secure and update-capable is growing. As a result, product manufacturers are encountering high costs and ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

Software architecture has long faced the problem of operating within system boundaries where specific requirements dominate: Enterprise systems, for example, demand flexibility, scalability, and rapid ...

Embedded Software and Hardware Architecture is a first dive into understanding embedded architectures and writing software to manipulate this hardware. You will gain experience writing low-level ...

Wind River Systems, the leading provider of a realtime embedded operating system known as VxWorks, for example, unveiled this week its first reselling agreement with semiconductor distributor the ...

Embedded systems power the modern world—quietly running inside vehicles, medical devices, industrial controllers, routers, ...

Wibu-Systems will exhibit at Embedded World 2026 to present a unified approach to securing embedded innovation across device ...

The embedded systems industry is constantly evolving. In my 20 years in the industry, embedded devices have gone from resource-constrained monolithic designs running on 8-bit microcontrollers to today ...

The actual definition of real-time database versus the abused interpretation used by marketers of real fast database systems. The interplay of transient and persistent memory, and hard and soft ...
