Today’s competitive world of embedded systems and the internet of things is placing ever greater demands on developers. They need to produce products that optimize size, weight and power, as well as have focused feature sets that are also flexible so they can be quickly adapted to meet changing customer requirements. In terms of processors, […]

SCENARIO You are working on a new design and want to choose an ARM based processor. The questions at this point could be: ANSWER ARM is a fabless company. This means that ARM does not manufacture silicon. ARM designs processor cores and licenses them to its silicon partners. The silicon partners, in turn, design microprocessors/microcontrollers

Introduction: Linux is popular because, it is available for free of cost, so it was liked by the students, the developers can access and modify the source code due to its open-source nature, so it was liked by the programmers, it is having the ability to communicate with other different operating systems, so it was

The five technology trends to consider before the actual fully autonomous vehicles become a fact. These also show our future of automotive. Vehicles as IoT Devices The internet of things provides a great potential for interconnectivity and linking smart vehicles into a network, providing the possibility of optimizing vehicle performance and driver experience. This trend

The embedded industry was born with the invention of microcontrollers/microprocessors and since then it has evolved into various forms, from primarily being designed for machine control applications to various other new verticals with the convergence of data communications.  Various classes of embedded systems such as media systems for homes, portable players, smartphones, embedded medical devices

Dynamic Memory Allocation is defined as a process where the size of a data structure can be modified during the run time. There are certain predefined functions which can implement the above condition.There are 4 library functions provided by C all of which are defined under <stdlib.h> header file to facilitate dynamic memory allocation in

Firmware Dual booting is not just a matter of software. Or, it is, but it involves changing your firmware, which among other things tells your machine how to begin the boot process. Here are some firmware-related issues to keep in mind. UEFI vs. BIOS Before attempting to install, make sure your firmware configuration is optimal.

Constant Pointers: A constant pointer is a pointer that cannot change the address its holding. In other words, we can say that once a constant pointer points to a variable then it cannot point to any other variable. Declaration of constant pointer: <type of pointer> * const <name of pointer> An example:                 int * const

Data types specify how we enter data into our programs and what type of data we enter. C language has some predefined set of data types to handle various kinds of data that we can use in our program. These data types have different storage capacities. C language supports 2 different types of data types:

Volatile is a qualifier that is applied to a variable when it is declared. It tells the compiler that the value of the variable may change any time. The implications of this are quite serious. It is required when you experience the following in C/C++ code: Syntax: For declaration of volatile variable, make use of
