Today I had a disturbing conversation with an old friend. Disturbing not because of what he said, but rather what he confirmed. Both of us at one time in our careers developed embedded systems. I did ...

In contrast, a hardware interrupt can occur at any machine instruction, meaning an ISR can be activated at any point in the code. Such implicit activation is not synchronized with the main code, and ...

Over the past few years, the number of programming languages used for embedded development has started to balloon. Developers have available to them languages such as Assembly, C, C++, Python, ...

[Sergey Lyubka] put together this epic guide for bare-metal microcontroller programming. While the general concepts should be applicable to most any microcontroller, [Sergey]s examples specifically ...

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 ...

A kit supplied by Amulet Technologies reduces graphical user interface development time and simplifies testing.
