Embedded Computing Design

This month, we take a look at the battle for the "world's lowest-power MCU" and what that really means to designers (hint: look closer).

Ata and Ian discuss how a 32-bit MCU architecture meets high-performance expectations for embedded applications.

For compact, battery-operated devices, power consumption must be coordinated across the entire system.

Model-driven testing can link requirements to design, helping developers generate results in a common language that links everyone in the design proce...

This month, we explore examples of imec's basic research aiming to reduce power consumption to ultra-low levels in mixed-signal platforms.

Static analysis tools are becoming more integrated into the software development process. Saving data from the compiler, change history, and error inf...

MCUs involve more than just cores – integrated memory and smaller packaging are also part of the innovation going on, as well as tools and devel...

People want constant access to broadband and Internet-enabled applications, and they want this capability everywhere they go.

Multiple OS deployment is taking off in asymmetric multiprocessing systems.

Optimizing multicore devices will be one of the biggest challenges facing developers in the future.

A small embedded computer with a MIPS-based RISC processor provides full-function multimedia video performance.

In our Deep Green Editor's Choice section, we look at technology helping design green into today's new products.

Developers must choose a processor architecture with a seamless development environment that includes compilers, debuggers, and performance and profil...

Embedded devices are at the forefront of social change.

Asymmetric multicore architectures are needed to achieve wire-speed, deterministic performance at the lowest power and cost.
