This article presents an introduction of microcontrollers as the first part on the series Embedded Systems Programming. It describes the structure and operation of the microcontroller, and the purpose ...

I'd bet many people who write programs for embedded systems don't understand the underlying hardware and how it works. Elecia White aims to help those programmers with information in her book, “Making ...

The very first step in starting an embedded Linux system does not involve Linux at all. Instead, the processor is reset and starts executing code from a given location. This location contains a ...

This is the second of three courses in the Embedded Interface Design (EID) specialization, the online version of the EID class offered on campus at CU Boulder. This course is an introduction to rapid ...

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system application using a real-time operating system or RT POSIX extensions with Embedded Linux. The course focus is on ...

Counter/timer hardware is a crucial component of most embedded systems. In some cases a timer is needed to measure elapsed time; in others we want to count or time some external events. Here's a ...

When tasks share resources, as they often do, strange things can and will happen. Priority inversions in embedded systems can be particularly difficult to anticipate. Here’s an introduction to ...
