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 ...

Different tasks in an embedded system typically must share the same hardware and software resources or may rely on each other in order to function correctly. For these reasons, embedded OSs provide ...

Potentially substantial performance gains from the use of multithreading and multiprocessing architectures have captured the attention of designers of consumer devices and other electronic products.

Learn the basics of embedded systems hacking with Arduino, Raspberry Pi & RTOS. Discover GPIO, interrupts, hands-on projects & TinyML for smart edge computing.

Performance is a topic that never strays far from the mind of most embedded systems developers. However, relatively speaking, many of us have it easy. We develop soft real-time systems in which a few ...

A new breed of micropro-cessor based on very long instruction word (VLIW) technology is well suited for embedded systems. This is due to the fact that VLIW architectural simplicity is achieved at the ...

Heterogeneous multiprocessor (HMP) systems, using functionally asymmetric compute elements, such as application processors and microcontrollers integrated within the same SoCs, are now used ...
