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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Selecting a programming language for an embedded application used to be easy. Developers simply went with C or if they were a bit adventurous, they might choose C++ and invoke a heated debate amongst ...

What is the best language in which to code your next project? If you are an embedded-system designer, that question has always been a bit silly. You will use, C—or if you are trying to impress ...

Before we plunge into the fray with gusto and abandon (and aplomb, of course), I should remind you that I’m a hardware design engineer by trade. I can write software, but I’ve never captured any code ...

I've always been a fan of pot pie. Why have a chicken breast, a side of mixed vegetables, and pie for dessert when you can just cram them all into one neat little package? Besides, if I eat pot pie ...

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.

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 ...

ECEN 5613 is a 3 credit hour course and is the first course in CU's Professional Certificate in Embedded Systems. It is one of the Embedded Systems Engineering program core courses and provides an ...
