You probably hold with the conventional view that the Java language cannot be used for embedded programming. According to this view, implementations of the Java language are (1) too slow, (2) too big, ...

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 this fourth lesson in the Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) series, you’ll see how to replace the horribly inefficient polling delay with efficient thread blocking. Specifically, in this lesson 25, ...

Mention embedded programming and most will automatically think of C. But while it’s still the dominant language for the space, these days C has lots of company. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of ...

Haskell is one of the most popular functional programming languages but it has not found much use in the embedded space. That is not likely to change in the near future but there are reasons for ...

An example she mentions is the use of NI’s CompactFieldpoint out in the oil patch. The technology is a programmable automation controller (PAC)—a hybrid device that combines personal computer (PC) ...

National Instruments' NI LabView Embedded Development Module extends LabView to any 32-bit embedded microprocessor, providing scientists and engineers with a graphical approach to algorithm design as ...

In June and July, I discussed the .NET Micro Framework, the Tahoe Board, and the Tahoe SDK. Since then, the Tahoe SDK has been updated, and Microsoft Press has published Embedded Programming with the ...

Demand for embedded programming is growing like crazy, so anyone looking for some job security might consider becoming an ace embedded programmer. It helps to have some programming experience, but ...
