From our study of C++, it should be clear that, unlike class encapsulation and single inheritance, which were essentially free in C, polymorphism in C involves some complexity and overhead. In the ...

This episode starts a new group of lessons about the architecture and design of embedded software. Today’s subject is the ubiquitous foreground-background architecture, also known as “superloop” or ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

Although the world of embedded software development languages seem to span somewhere between ASM and C89 all the way to MicroPython, there is a lot to be said for a happy medium between ease of ...

Most software developers will have received some kind of training or education in programming techniques. Others may be self-taught. But either way, many will agree that much of the real learning ...

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, ...

1. In a big company, doing ASIC design verification for a WCDMA modem for 3G cellular chips. 2. Small company, doing Embedded Software Programming. Working on the design and implementation of layer 1 ...

If you’re an embedded developer, you probably hear about all the cool things in AI, like AI agents, synthetic data, multimodal systems, and more. But let’s be honest, you’re probably ignoring quite a ...
