At CES 2024, a French startup is presenting the notion of frugal code in embedded software by identifying and quantifying the optimization potential of the code. WedoLow, a spinoff from three research ...

Security issues go beyond buffer overflows. How standards help with commonly exploited weaknesses. Improving code quality and safety with code-analysis tools. On the other hand, as Code Red caused ...

Embedded-software technology appears to lag behind new trends. That's largely because embedded developers have a cautious, conservative attitude that comes from years of experience contending with ...

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...

In the last lesson, you encountered the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and you worked out a manual procedure of switching the context from one thread to another. In this lesson, ...
