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 ...

Eliminating one of the most complex portions of a networked design, FieldServer Technologies recently announced a quick and easy method of adding serial and Ethernet protocols to embedded controllers.

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 ...

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

Check out LIN and I2C for low speed networking needs. They are often better alternatives than SPI or CAN for many applications. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) and universal asynchronous ...
