“Normal” programmers can get away with the assumption that their C programs start executing from the main () function. But embedded developers need to know what happens before that. Lesson 13 explores ...

Lesson #35 State Machines Part-1: What is a state machine? Preserving Context Between Events Sequential code uses blocking to explicitly wait for events in line. The code downstream of each blocking ...

The choice of programming language echoes this pragmatic conservatism perfectly. Years ago, embedded developers were slow to pick up on high-level languages, but eventually C became accepted. It took ...

5 Tips for Choosing an Embedded Programming Language5 Tips for Choosing an Embedded Programming Language The language will depend on the type of software, the needs of their company, and the technical ...

New coders, new challenges, and new architectures are loosening C’s hold—some would say C’s cold, dead grip—on embedded software. According to one recent study the fastest-growing language for ...

Generation of compact machine code, suitable for application domains such as game programming for low-resource devices. No need for app or device driver installation when deploying Static ...

Embedded C developers shy away from C++ out of concern for performance. The class construct is one of their main concerns. My previous article Code Craft – Embedding C++: Classes explored ...

A study of embedded programming using low-level programming languages. The course covers the hardware architecture of an embedded system and the techniques needed to write programs for simple ...

Code Conversion On the left side below is the ANSI-C software code that makes the call to the C Hough function. The input to the Hough function is the image to be processed (TileIn ...

The MathWorks (www.mathworks.com) has developed Embedded MATLAB, a subset of its MATLAB high-level programming language that allows users to generate embeddable C code from MATLAB files without ...
