In this lesson, you will learn the main concepts behind event-driven programming, which, after object-oriented programming, is another fundamental stepping stone in understanding modern embedded ...

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 ...

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 ...

As we continue the series on Embedded Systems Programming, this article will present the 2nd part, which is about the hardware or the peripheral circuitry required to run a microprocessor. It ...

This engineering specialization provides students with the fundamentals of embedded operating systems including a working understanding of how to configure and deploy a Linux based Embedded System.

Hardware abstraction layers (HALs) are an important layer to every embedded software application. A HAL allows a developer to abstract or decouple the hardware details from the application code.

This course provides an overview of System Programming for the Linux operating system, or software which is interfacing directly with the Linux Kernel and C library. The basic components of a Linux ...

If there is one thing in software engineering that is a given, it’s that engineers need continuous education. While graduating college might have made us think that we were “done,” the truth is that ...

One of the biggest dreams anyone has is to make a living doing what they love. For all hackers, makers, and DIYers with a passion for embedded systems, it may make sense initially to pursue embedded ...

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.
