When designing IP for system-on-chip (SoC) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) implementations, IP designers strive for perfection. Optimal engineering often yields the smallest die ...

Tasking's Christoph Herzog sees the company’s evolution as closely tied to the broader development of embedded systems.

System-on-chip (SoC) architectures are being increasingly employedto solve a diverse spectrum of problems in the embedded and mobilesystems domain. The resulting increase in the complexity ...

GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection, is a tool used by nearly every embedded engineer, even those who don't target Linux. In release since 1987, supporting every processor known to man, GCC is a ...

This lesson starts a new segment about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) — an important set of concepts critical to understanding any modern software, not just modern embedded software. As usual in ...

This article discusses how to use GCJ, part of the GCC compiler suite, in an embedded Linux project. Like all tools, GCJ has benefits, namely the ability to code in a high-level language like Java, ...

IEC 61508 is a standard for electrical, electronic and programmableelectronic, safety-related systems. It is interesting because it spanshardware and software components. Therefore, with care, ...
