Layered Security Offers Best Embedded Hardware Security
By Joel Wittenauer - 04 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

The importance of building a secure and rigid foundation in SoC and system designs has never been so true as it is now, given not only the garden variety of software vulnerabilities existing today, but also micro-architectural attacks on CPUs like Meltdown, Spectre, and Foreshadow. Design engineers should embrace two security-related tenets when selecting a security processor: one is depth o... » read more

Coordinating Automotive Embedded Software Development Requires A Unified Approach

The rising intelligence and connectivity of vehicles are making the interactions between software and physical systems more complex, exposing the deficiencies of current processes, tools and methods. To compete in the technological race for the future of mobility, companies must evolve their software development processes today. A common digital thread connecting software and physical systems t... » read more

Resetting Serial Memory When A System Failure Occurs
By Paul Hill - 13 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Stability is an important consideration in embedded design, but electronic systems can suffer malfunctions triggered by a myriad of root causes. These include poor signal integrity, power spikes, software errors, and erroneous user interaction, just to name a few. These anomalies, in turn, can lead to inconsistent system operation or can even cause the system to hang. Although the list of po... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: May 14

By Jo Windel - 28 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

As we arrive back from a busy, and unusually warm, Embedded World 2019 and recall the many interesting discussions we had over the three-day show, one thing is most certainly clear: This is the Mobile World Congress (MWC) event for Nuremberg. Its many halls were jam-packed with technology from a wide variety of sectors but also with an array of application focal points. There was everything ... » read more

Inaccurate Assumptions Mean Software Issues
By Andrew Caples - 28 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

It doesn’t seem that long ago when features and functionality were being added to next generation processors and SoCs ahead of demand. Actually, I recall when new processors were released, embedded software developers were forced to think of innovative ways to exploit the new features in order to differentiate the product to not be left behind. Today, in many respects it seems as if the... » read more
